Position the oven rack in the lower 1/3 of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the onion, parsley, parm cheese, bread crumbs, egg, marinara, garlic, red pepper
flakes, salt, and pepper. Once mixed, add in the beef, mixing with your hands.Form 16 meatballs from the meat mixture.
Make a hole in the center of each meatball and place a mozzarella cube inside. Reshape the meatball so the cheese is completely hidden. Pour 1/3 cup marinara into the bottom of a baking dish.
Place the meatballs inside and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil.Bake for 15 minutes until everything is cooked through.
