Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs

- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Remove the casing from the Italian sausage and place the meat into a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, milk, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the sausage.
Step 4
Using your hands, gently mix all the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs tough.
Step 5
Shape the mixture into 1 1/2 to 2-inch meatballs and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Step 6
Drizzle the meatballs with olive oil.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
Step 8
Remove the sausage meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the meatballs with your favorite pasta and sauce, in a meatball sub, or as an appetizer with dipping sauce.
