    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, minced garlic, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, then form into small meatballs.

    2

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides until golden. Set aside.

    3

    In the same skillet, sauté the finely chopped onion until softened. Add the tomato paste and canned crushed tomatoes. Season with ground paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.

    4

    Return the meatballs to the tomato sauce and simmer over low heat for 20-25 minutes, allowing the meatballs to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
