Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large skillet cook onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil for 8 minutes or until tender. Cool.
- In a large bowl combine eggs, onion mixture, ground beef, 1 cup Grana Padano, the ricotta cheese, panko, parsley, basil, salt and pepper.
- Mix to form a uniform mass and shape the mixture into 2 inch balls.
- Test one meatball before starting the next process.
- If the ricotta is too watery, add more breadcrumbs or ground beef. If it is too dry, add more ricotta.
- Place meatballs on two parchment lined 15x10x1inch baking pans.
- Brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Bake 22 to 25 minutes or until 165 degrees F.
- In a very large skillet bring marinara sauce to boiling.
- Add half of the meatballs to the skillet and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes or until a nice saucy consistency.
- Garnish with Grana Padano, if desired.
