Ingredients
  

Meatball Ingredients

  • 600 grams Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 large Egg
  • ½ cup Panko Crumbs
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 1 tablespoon Dry Oregano
  • 1 tablespoon Dry Basil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 3 cloves Garlic crushed
  • ? cup Marinara Sauce

Alfredo Sauce Ingredients

  • ? cup Butter
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 cups Milk or milk alternatives
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated

Instructions
 

Make the Meatballs

  • Preheat your oven to 350F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Combine all of the meatball ingredients into a large bowl. Use clean hands to combine the ingredients really well and to obtain a smooth consistency.
  • Shape between 20-24 meatballs and place them on the baking tray. They should be between 1 and 1½ inch in diameter. Having them all be the same size will insure an even cooking.
  • Place in the oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatballs reach a minimum of 160F.

Make the Alfredo Sauce

  • Place a medium skillet on medium heat.
  • Add the butter to the skillet and melt it until it starts to bubble and foam.
  • Place the minced garlic in with the butter and cook it for 2 minutes.
  • Whisk in the flour a little bit at a time and continue whisking so that you obtain a smooth paste. This is called a "roux" and it will thicken the sauce.
  • Pour ½ cup of milk at a time in the roux, while continuously mixing. Bring back the sauce to a smooth consistency between each addition.
  • Keep whisking the Alfredo sauce until it comes to a simmer and thickens up. Turn off the heat and whisk in the parmesan cheese until melted.
  • Place the cooked meatballs into the skillet with the Alfredo sauce and fold them in so that they are well coated.
  • Serve the Alfredo Meatballs over your favorite cooked pasta and garnish with grated parmesan and freshly choppes parsley or basil.
