Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, minced garlic (2 cloves), chopped fresh basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined; do not overwork the meat.
Shape the mixture into meatballs, about
5 inches in diameter. You should get around 16-18 meatballs.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil if desired. Sear the meatballs in batches until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove the meatballs and set aside.
In the same skillet, pour in the Marsala wine. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan and let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the marinara sauce to the skillet and stir to combine with the wine.
Return the meatballs to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some sauce over the top of the meatballs.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with extra fresh basil and grated parmesan if desired.
Serve hot with your favorite pasta, crusty bread, or over polenta.
