• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large egg

For the Red Sauce:

• 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

For Garnish:

• Chopped fresh parsley
• Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

For the Meatballs:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, milk, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and egg. Mix until well combined.

Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and browned.

For the Red Sauce:

In a saucepan, combine the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, sugar, salt, and black pepper.

Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed.

To Serve:

Place the baked meatballs in the prepared red sauce, gently stirring to coat them evenly.

Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for an additional 10-15 minutes.

Serve the Baked Meatballs with Red Sauce over cooked pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
