Ingredients
450g ground beef
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp dried oregano
Salt & cracked pepper
2 tsp chilli paste
50g parmesan cheese, grated
100g bread crumbs (gluten free if required)
2 eggs
250ml milk
1 tbsp olive oil
600ml passata
200g mozzarella cheese, grated
Instructions
Start by preheating the oven to 200°C/400°F/ gas 6.
Add the beef, garlic, oregano, salt & pepper, chilli paste, parmesan cheese, bread crumbs,
egg and milk to a large bowl and mix well to combine.
Roll the mixture into 15-20 balls.
Next, heat the oil in a large frying panand cook the meatballs for 3-4 minutes. All you’re
doing for now is browning the outside, as they will continue to cook in the oven.
Add a few spoonfuls of passata to the bottom of an oven-proof casserole dish. Then, lay
the meatballs in the dish.
Pour the rest of the sauce all over, top with mozzarella and sprinkle with a little extra
oregano, salt & cracked pepper.
Cover with foil and cook for 30 minutes or until cheese has melted and sauce is bubbling.
Serve hot!
