Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, and parmesan cheese.

Add egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture.

Mix until well combined, ensuring not to overwork the meat.

Form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add meatballs to the skillet and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Transfer browned meatballs to a baking dish and pour tomato sauce over them.

Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, basil, and thyme.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.

Serve hot with pasta or on a sub roll.
