Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Skillet
  • Baking Dish

Ingredients

Meat

  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey

Vegetables

  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Cheese

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes

Other Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups marinara sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine ground meat, chopped spinach, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  • Take a small amount of the meat mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place a cube of mozzarella in the center and fold the meat around it, sealing it completely to form a meatball.
  • Repeat with the remaining mixture.
  • In a skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium heat and brown the meatballs on all sides.
  • Pour the marinara sauce into a baking dish and place the browned meatballs on top.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to seal the mozzarella well inside the meatball to prevent it from leaking out while cooking. Use lean ground meat for a healthier option.
