  1. In a bowl, combine the minced beef, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a walnut.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. While the meatballs are cooking, finely chop the garlic cloves.
  5. Once the meatballs are browned, remove them from the pan and set aside.
  6. In the same pan, add the chopped garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  7. Pour in the double cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  8. Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the cream and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  9. Return the meatballs to the pan, coating them in the sauce. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through.
  10. Add the fresh spinach to the pan and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.
  11. Serve the creamy garlic Parmesan meatballs with spinach directly from the pan. Enjoy!
