Easy Meatballs Recipe | in a homemade marinara sauce
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Who doesn't love a good meatball recipe? This one is baked in the oven for even browning and easy cleanup, then simmered in the best homemade marinara sauce.
Meatballs are a staple recipe in the kitchen. And sometimes classic, Italian-style meatballs simmered in fresh marinara sauce are all I need for a dinner that's simple, comforting, and tastes just like home.
My version of meatballs are "meatier" with no breadcrumbs or panade, yet still moist and flavorful. That also makes them naturally gluten-free and low-carb. An added bonus!

All cooked with fresh ingredients and without convenience products. I have no choice but "thumbs up". I know that pasta with meatballs is a very popular dish in the USA. Here this dish is almost unknown. Where I live, there is not a single Italian restaurant, which offers this on the menu. I guess I'll have to cook it myself. I like to fall back on this recipe. ❤

@@forevereveru There are numerous "Italian" dishes that are actually "American". One of the best known is probably "fettuccine alfredo". They originally come from Italy. But they became really popular at the beginning of the 20th century due to immigrants in the USA. Especially New York. That's the great thing about America. Good ideas prevail.

This looks amazing, I am going to give it a try. Thank you ! Also, one thing I noticed in the video is how you scraped the garlic press with your knife. I used to do this, but try using using the back of the blade instead of the cutting side of the blade. It won't dull or damage your blade that way, but works just as well. Great video !

If you brown the meatballs but finish them in the sauce, all that lovely fat ends up in the sauce and you get the BEST flavour. Plus you cut down on pans, though finishing them in the oven is a great idea anyway.
I prefer to use fine nut crumbs instead of almond flour. Just a personal preference.

“…so there’s no super large chunks.” Don’t use the word “super” as an adverb. It’s super irritating.
