• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cups milk

• 1 pound ground beef

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (225 degrees C).

2. 2

   Combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, oregano, garlic, salt, black pepper, basil, and red pepper flakes in a bowl and mix together with a fork. Stir in egg, milk, and 1/4 cup beef broth. Add ground beef and stir with a fork just until combined.

3. 3

   With wet hands, roll meat mixture into medium-sized balls and place in a large casserole dish. Pour in 1 cup beef broth, or enough to fill the casserole 1/4 inch deep. Sprinkle meatballs with Parmesan cheese.

4. 4

   Bake meatballs in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn meatballs over, and bake until no longer pink at the center, about 15 minutes more.

5. 5

   For noodles, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until tender with a bite, about 10 minutes; drain.

6. 6

   Place noodles in a bowl and immediately add butter, garlic paste, Parmesan, oil, black pepper, and parsley. Stir to combine.

7. 7

   Remove meatballs from the oven. To serve, spoon noodles onto a plate and top with meatballs. Sprinkle with more parsley. Enjoy!
