Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Grate or press the garlic cloves into a large mixing bowl. Add the beef, eggs, almond flour, Italian seasoning, Parmesan, salt, and black pepper. Using clean hands, mix ingredients until just combined.
Step 4
Roll meat mixture into 24 balls about 1 inch in diameter, or 1.5 oz. each, and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Check to see that meatballs are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
Step 7
Transfer the meatballs to a large pot and pour in the marinara sauce. Bring sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer meatballs in sauce until heated through, 3-5 minutes.
Step 8
Transfer the meatballs and sauce to a serving dish and top with grated Parmesan and fresh basil, if you like. Serve immediately.
