"Quick to prepare, delightful to devour - perfect for a busy weeknight family dinner!"

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1 pound ground pork
- 3 or 4 (if small) eggs
- 8 ounces fresh baby spinach
- 1 jar Rao's marinara sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for meatballs)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil (for spinach)
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped (for meatballs)
- 2 cups bread crumbs
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped (for spinach)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Splash of milk
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- Mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a skillet, heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the spinach and toss until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the finely chopped garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Remove from heat, chop finely, and let cool.
3. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, eggs, milk, 4 cloves of chopped garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and the cooled spinach mixture. Mix until well incorporated.
4. Form the meat mixture into balls. Insert a cube of Mozzarella into the center of each ball, ensuring it is completely covered by the meat.
5. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides.
6. Lower the heat and add dollops of marinara sauce around the meatballs in the skillet. Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
7. Serve hot over your favorite pasta, sprinkled with extra Parmesan and fresh herbs if desired.
