Meatballs
2 Italian sausages, about 1/2 pound, I used Turkey casings removed and sausage broken up
1/2 pound ground beef, I used a 93% fat free
1 tbs Italian herbs, I used Basil, Oregano, Marjoram and a pinch red pepper flakes
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
2 tsp olive oil
Mix all of the ingredients, except the olive oil, in a medium size bowl. Be careful not to over mix this, you don't want tough meatballs. After it is thoroughly mixed together take a measuring spoon and measure out an equal amount of meat and roll into little balls. I used a 2 teaspoon measuring spoon. This made 27 meatballs, which was good as it gave me one to test for doneness and taste. Add the olive oil to a frying pan heated to medium. Then add the meatballs, browning them on all sides. This will only take a few minutes with meatballs this size. I then put them in my quick and easy tomato sauce and let them simmer until the pasta was finished cooking. I started the pasta water when I started making the meatballs.
