To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 cup beef broth

To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, milk, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form into meatballs. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
While the meatballs are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the red wine, beef broth, and tomato paste and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced and thickened.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water. Add the mixture to the sauce and stir well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened even more.
Once the meatballs are done, add them to the skillet with the sauce. Stir gently to coat the meatballs with the sauce. Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
