Meatball Parmigiana
Sounds good, meatballs with cheese and pasta sauce, and more cheese, perfect! On my to cook list for sure. I will update serving size and times after I make this, what is listed is just guesses for now. Links to the shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 750 grams ground beef, or beef and pork
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed and roughly chopped
- handful fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 cup bread crumbs, OR make from a shortcut
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded, not grated
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, OR make from a shortcut
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1-2 cups Mozzarella Cheese
- 4-6 cups pasta sauce, OR make from a shortcut
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200 C.
- Mix all of the meatball ingredients, except the Mozzarella cheese and pasta sauce, and form your meatballs, not too large. Pour 1-2 tablespoons oil on a foil lined baking sheet and bake the meatballs for 20 minutes.
- Lower oven temp to 190 C.
- Spoon some sauce into the bottom of a large baking dish. Place meatballs on top of the sauce. Cover with more sauce and dress the top up with plenty of mozzarella. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake an additional 20 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through and cheese is browning. For the last few minutes you can raise the oven temperature to help with browning.
- Serve on pasta or rice.
Notes
Estimate about 150 Baht for ground beef, less if using beef and pork mix. I cannot price Parmesan cheese in a block yet, I will estimate 150 Baht, for the Mozzarella cheese, I would go with 400 grams at 280 Baht. For 6 servings, this is about $2.85 per serving.
