"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Directions:
1. Add ingredients to a bowl. Mix with your hands until nothing sticks to them. Place 1/4 cup of the mixture into the palm of one hand, and toll with our other palm until a firm, round ball is shaped. Be sure no parsley is on the surface of the meatball.
2. Spray a small frying pan with Pam original. Add 3/4 cup vegetable oil, and heat on high until a small piece of meatball cooks instantly.
3. Fry the meatballs in batches; Brown well on each side, about 1 minute per side. When the meatballs are nicely browned, give them a final turn, then transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
4. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, until cooked through.
