Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Dice your garlic and chop the spinach into small pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, spinach, garlic, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, the egg, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Take a portion of the meat mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place a cube of mozzarella in the center and wrap the meat around it, shaping it into a ball.
Place the meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through and nicely browned on the outside.
Serve warm with your favorite tomato sauce or tossed over pasta.

For a lighter option, substitute ground beef with ground turkey. Ensure that meat isn’t over-mixed for tender meatballs.
