Cooking Steps
- Begin by warming olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Let the oil shimmer slightly, indicating it’s ready for cooking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, chopped red onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Shape the mixture into small, uniform meatballs, around 1 inch in diameter.
- Carefully add meatballs to the heated skillet, browning them for about 5 minutes.
- Pour the basil tomato sauce over the browned meatballs. Gently simmer for 5 minutes.
- While the meatballs are simmering, prepare the seasoned rice according to package instructions.
- Once the rice is cooked to a fluffy perfection, plate it up! Top each serving with the meatballs and sauce, and sprinkle a generous amount of grated Parmesan on top.
Notes
Garnish with fresh basil for additional flavor. Ensure meatballs are uniformly sized for even cooking.
