Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Marinara sauce
- 12 ounces Egg noodles
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and egg. Mix gently with your hands until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
Form the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs, rolling them between your palms. You should have around 16-20 meatballs.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs in a single layer. Sear the meatballs on all sides until browned, about 6-8 minutes total. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Once browned, transfer all meatballs back into the skillet and pour in the marinara sauce. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked through.
While the meatballs are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions (typically 6-8 minutes). Drain the noodles once cooked.
Return the drained noodles to the pot and stir in the butter until fully melted and the noodles are evenly coated.
To serve, divide the buttered noodles onto plates or into bowls. Top with the meatballs and marinara sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
