In a large bowl, combine beef, pork, egg, Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, allspice and nutmeg. Season with Kosher salt and ground pepper. Stir until well combined. Roll mixture into meatballs, forming up to 20.
In a large stockpot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add meatballs and cook for 4 minutes until well browned. After meatballs are cooked through, stir in marinara sauce.
