Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and set a rack to the middle level.
Cut the eggplant into roughly 1-inch cubes. Crush and mash 3 garlic cloves into a paste. Roughly chop 1/2 cup basil leaves.
In a large pan over medium-low heat, sauté the garlic in 1/4 cup olive oil. After 2 minutes, add the eggplant and mix well. Add 3 ounces water, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
Turn off the heat and move the soft eggplant to a large bowl. Let it cool a few minutes, then add 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs, 3/4 cup Pecorino Romano, 1 tsp black pepper, the chopped basil, and 2 beaten eggs. Mix well.
With wet hands, shape the mixture into meatballs and place them on an oiled wire rack or a parchment-lined sheet pan.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown.
Serve the meatballs in your sauce of choice (marinara).
