  1. 1

    Mince the Garlic

    Mince garlic.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Combine panko and 2 Tbsp. water in a mixing bowl. Let rest, 1 minute.

    After 1 minute, add beef, ricotta, 1/3 the garlic salt (reserve remaining for sauce), 1/4 tsp. pepper, half the Italian seasoning (reserve remaining for sauce), and half the Parmesan (reserve remaining for garnish). Mix until completely combined and form into 12 equally-sized meatballs.

  3. 3

    Start the Meatballs

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add meatballs to hot pan and roll occasionally until browned all over, 4-6 minutes.

    Meatballs will continue cooking in another step.

    Add garlic and stir often until lightly browned, 30-60 seconds.

  4. 4

    Simmer Sauce and Finish Meatballs

    Add marinara, 1/4 cup water, remaining Italian seasoning, and remaining garlic salt to hot pan. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, cover and cook until meatballs reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

    Transfer meatballs to a plate, leaving sauce in pan.

  5. 5

    Add Pasta and Finish Dish

    Add pasta and butter to sauce and stir often until heated through, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.
