Directions:
Directions:
1. Mix first 7 ingredients in a medium size bowl by hand until mixture is uniformly firm.
2. Coat your hands with the olive and form balls about the size of a golf ball. (*I use an ice cream scoop.)
3a. If you like your meatballs soft - Heat the tomato sauce and pour over meatballs in a lasagna pan.
3b. My Elaine likes her meatballs crunchy on the outside….so I fry them first in a pan. Then drop them into the sauce and bake them.
4. Bake in a 350F oven for 25 mins.
5. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
6. Serve with chopped parsley.

I found and adapted this great meatball recipe. We had tried many recipes. My Elaine has given this one her "seal of approval".
