Instructions

1 Combine the ground beef in a mixing bowl. Add the minced garlic, chopped
parsley, basil, breadcrumbs, milk, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until the
ingredients are well blended, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2 Form the mixture into 10 balls, each about 2 ounces in size. Use your thumb to
create an indentation in each ball and insert a mozzarella ball. Mold the meat
around the cheese to enclose it fully. Shape into a smooth ball and place on a
plate or tray. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
3 Chill the meatballs in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes.
4 Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs,
making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, turning
occasionally, until the meatballs are browned on all sides.
5 Lower the heat to medium-low. Pour sauce over the meatballs, cover, and let
simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through. Serve
hot with extra sauce if desired. Enjoy!
