Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh cheese and lean ground beef at local supermarkets or butcher shops. If fresh cheese is unavailable, mozzarella is a reliable substitute.
Preparation method

- In a bowl, mix the ground beef, chopped onion, crushed garlic, chopped parsley, and salt.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing well until you achieve a homogeneous dough that holds its shape.
- Take small portions of the meat dough, flatten them in the palm of your hand, and place a seasoned cheese cube in the center.
- Close the dough carefully, shaping and rolling it to form the meatballs.
- Place the meatballs on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- While the meatballs are baking, heat the tomato sauce.
- Serve the meatballs hot, drizzled with the heated tomato sauce.
