Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (Can substitute with ground turkey or chicken.)
- 1 egg (Use a flax egg for a vegan version.)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan (Pecorino Romano can be used for a sharper taste.)
- 1/2 tsp salt (Adjust according to taste.)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (White pepper can be used if preferred.)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (Fresh minced garlic can elevate flavor.)
- 1 cup heavy cream (Substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free option.)
- 2 cloves garlic (Minced.)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (Cheddar can be used for a unique twist.)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, beaten egg, grated Parmesan, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined.
- Scoop portions of the mixture, shaping them into 1-inch balls. Place on a clean plate, yielding about 20 meatballs.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add oil. Cook meatballs for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat and add heavy cream and minced garlic. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Return the cooked meatballs to the skillet, stirring to coat with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the meatballs. Cover and let melt on low heat for 2-3 minutes.
- Serve hot with your choice of zoodles or salad.
