Mix 500 grams of ground beef in a large bowl together with 2 eggs, 60 grams of breadcrumbs, 60 ml of whole milk, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 tablespoon of italian spice mix.
Season with salt and pepper. Mix everything well with your hands and roll a meatball of around 50 grams. It is best to use kitchen scales to check the weight.
Place the italian meatball on a large plate, and continue rolling meatballs until you've used up all of the meat mixture.
Add a generous glug of olive oil to a deep frying pan or casserole. Place the meatballs in the pan and fry over low heat until nicely browned on all sides.
It takes 10 to 15 minutes of cooking to get the meatballs nicely browned. You can now choose what kind of sauce you want to serve the meatballs in.
The most common sauce is a tomato sauce, you can simply add 400 ml passata to the frying pan. However, a tasty cream sauce or olive oil and lemon sauce is also good!
Season the sauce with salt and pepper and let the meatballs simmer over low heat. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with pasta or rice. Enjoy your meal!
