1/4 cup milk
2 eggs
3 -4 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (or use 2 teaspoons dried parsley)
1/2 cup crushed corn flake crumbs (more if needed)

Steps:

Set oven to 350°F.
Prepare a baking sheet.
In a large bowl combine the first 9 ingredients (up to the marinara sauce) mix well with clean hands to combine, if the mixture is too soft then add in a bit more cornflake crumbs.
Shape into 1-1/2-inch balls, then place on prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs for about 20 minutes or until cooked and browned.

With your fingers press down the bottom part of each bun to create a depression in the middle.
Spoon about 5-6 meatballs into the depression and then spoon the sauce over to coat.
