  Mix together 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce and bread crumbs in a bowl. Stir egg, beef, parsley, garlic into the bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. Form the mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls. Push 1 cheese cube into the middle of each ball, and seal it inside. Place the balls gently in a pan that has been covered by foil and greased. Bake meatballs in the oven for about 10 minutes.

When the meatballs are done, stir them into the sauce and reduce heat to low. Cover the saucepan again. Stirring occasionally simmer until the meatballs have been cooked, which should be for an additional 10 minutes.
