### Instructions
1. **Preheat your oven** to 400°F (200°C).
2. **Make the meatballs**: In a large bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined. Roll into 1 1/2-inch balls and place on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. **Bake the meatballs** for 15–18 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned.
4. **Assemble the Parmigiana**: In a baking dish, spread a layer of marinara sauce. Add the cooked meatballs, pour the remaining sauce over the top, and sprinkle with mozzarella and additional Parmesan.
5. **Bake again** for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Broil for 1–2 minutes if you want a golden top.
6. **Serve hot**, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
