1/4 ground sweet Italian sausage (or filling from one link)
1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup onion, diced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon basil or 1/4 cup fresh chopped
1 egg
1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl, by hand, mix all ingredients until just combined. TIP: I always lightly coat my hands with olive oil. Helps the ingredients to saty in the bowl, where they belong.
Shape mixture into 12 good sized meatballs, approximately 2" in diameter.
Bake 25 minutes (we finish ours for another 5-10 minutes in the skillet, with the Sunday sauce.)
