Steps:
- MINCE 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, 1 tablespoon fresh oregano and 1 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley leaves; SET aside; GRATE 1/2 cup stale or frozen sourdough breadcrumbs in a food processor or sing a hand-held grater; SET aside; GRATE (don't shred) 1/3 cup parmigiano reggiano cheese (plus more for garnish if desired) and set aside.
- PROCESS 1/2 small peeled sweet onion, approximately 1/4 red or green bell pepper, and 2-3 cloves of garlic in a food processor until minced; SAUTE mixture in one tablespoon olive oil over medium heat only until softened; ADD 2 tablespoons minced fresh basil leaves, 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano leaves, 1 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves and 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt; SAUTE until herbs are softened; REMOVE from heat and add sauteed vegetables into a large bowl.
- SPRINKLE the 1/2 cup grated breadcrumbs over sauteed vegetables; BREAK up 1 lb. fresh ground meat over breadcrumbs without mixing; ADD 1/2 cup ricotta cheese over meat without mixing.
- BEAT one egg in a small bowl with 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, remaining 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon zest, 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1 pinch ground allspice and 1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg; POUR mixture over ingredients in bowl without mixing.

- MIX meatball mixture thoroughly using hands.
- ROLL into 1 1/2 - 2 inch meatballs.
- FRY METHOD: Fry meatballs in a large skillet, between medium-low and medium heat in 1-2 tablespoons olive oil (or fry between 275 F - 300 F in an electric wok or electric skillet), alternately turning and covering until browned/steamed and meat is just cooked until done, yet moist.
- STEAM METHOD: Heat a large saucepan filled halfway with marinara sauce over medium heat. Add raw meatballs, then 1/2 cup water. Cook until slightly browned on bottom, then turn meatballs using a slotted spoon. Add a little more water and continue cooking until done. Re-season sauce if necessary just to keep meatballs in before adding to spaghetti, or a meatball sandwich. Top with chopped parsley, a little olive oil, fresh ground pepper and a sprinkle of freshly grated parmigiano reggiano cheese.
- SERVE and say, "MAMMA MIA!"!

MAMMA MIA MEATBALLS
The name of these meatballs had its origin in an old Alka-Seltzer TV commercial: "Mamma mia, that's a spicy meatball-a!" I use these for receptions, and they always go over really well. I save time by using frozen meatballs, but you could make your own if you have a special meatball recipe. I'm adding my recipe for meatballs at...

Steps:
- 1. Place meatballs in a very large baking dish. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- 2. Combine jelly, worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat. Heat to boiling, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Stir in ketchup and return to a boil. Lower heat and simmer about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 3. Pour sauce over meatballs; stir to coat well. Bake meatballs for 25-30 minutes, until sauce is somewhat reduced.
- 4. Place meatballs and sauce in a large slow cooker on low to keep warm while serving. Serve with toothpicks.
- 5. To make my meatballs: Beat egg and add to meat and cracker crumbs with seasonings in a large bowl. Mix well with hands until all combined. Form into 1-1/4" meatballs. Place on foil-covered baking sheet. Bake at 400° about 15 minutes.
- 6. Chris Langel gave me a recipe for potlatch seasoning! 2 tsp. salt, 3/4 tsp. ground cumin, 1/2 tsp. dried oregano, crushed, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, 1/4 tsp. chili powder, 1/8 tsp. white pepper = about 4 tsp.

ITALIAN MEATBALLS
These are real meatballs. If you were only using ground beef in your meatballs before, then you were doing them wrong! Pork and veal is where the real flavor comes from. I also use a tiny bit of mild Italian sausage just like the old country. To make them nice and moist, have them cook in a big pot of homemade red gravy for 1 to 2 hours. Make them as big or small as you like. They should serve about 4, could be more or less depending on the appetite of your family. Rubbing your hands in olive oil helps make perfectly round meatballs. Fresh herbs and produce make all the difference in the world with the flavor. Laziness results in a whack in the head from your nonna's wooden spoon! Lastly, all Italian cooking should have the love, so you better be using your hands when mixing the meat, don't be afraid of good cooking!

ITALIAN MEATBALLS
This is a wonderful recipe for Italian Meatballs that had been handed down from my Italian grandparents. Conagra Foods makes both Angela Mia and Hunts, so Angela Mia would also be alright to use if you do not see Hunts. Believe me when I say that it is the best, and as Lucille Ball would have said, "and it's tasty too". If you have questions email me: [email protected]

Steps:
- DIRECTIONS FOR MARINARA SAUCE:.
- Empty Hunts chunky crushed tomatoes and Hunts tomato paste into the pot. Add the extra-virgin olive oil to the pot. Slice the cloves of garlic crosswise into either halves or thirds or pieces, and dump them into the pot. Dice the shallot, and dump that into the pot. Add the rest of the ingredients, and stir to mix well with a large long handled wooden spoon. Do not strain, as the pulp adds to make this a thick and wonderful sauce.
- Cover and cook on medium heat, stirring every 10 minutes for about an hour or until it bubbles and is completely heated throughout. Reduce heat to simmer, and continue to simmer, stirring every 10 or 15 minutes to keep from burning or sticking to the bottom of the pot for 1 or 2 hours. Remove from heat and give it one last stir. NOTE: You may want to double the ingredients in the sauce, depending on how many people you are serving. Set the sauce aside.
- DIRECTIONS FOR MEATBALLS:.
- Mix all meatball ingredients together. Shape meatballs to desired size. To serve with spaghetti I usually make them 1 ½" in diameter, but for a meatball sub or as hors d'oeuvres, I make them smaller.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Place meatballs into skillet and sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Continue turning the meatballs until they are done on all sides.
- Reduce the heat and add the Marinara sauce to the skillet with the meatballs. Cover and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.

MOM'S ITALIAN MEATBALLS
These are very cheesey. Unfortunately, they can fall apart while frying. If they do, just scrape up the bits and put that in your spaghetti sauce also. It's hard not to eat them all up as they come out of the pan, they're that good.

EASY AND TASTY ITALIAN MEATBALLS
I make Italian food often casually and from memory, but rarely record the recipes. When I made meatballs using this recipe my family instantly asked if I had recorded the steps. I got up from the table and wrote it down while it was fresh in my mind. It has become a favorite treat for everyone. On the down side, my family became "meatball snobs" and no longer order them at restaurants because they will constantly compare my meatballs favorably.

Steps:
- 1.Add all ingredients into a large bowl.
- 2.Knead / Mix all ingredients together with clean hands.
- 3.Chill mixture for 30 minutes or until firm.
- 4.Build meatballs using a 1 TBSP cookie dough scooper, and Hand-roll into balls.
- 5.Place into cast-iron frying pan (you can snugly fit them in if needed).
- 6.Set heat to medium, add 1/4 cup of water and cover. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- 7.Remove cover and begin turning meatballs. As the remaining water evaporates, the edges of the meatballs will become crispy and brown. Turn frequently until all sides are seared.
- 8.This is the best part - As the cook you are responsible to ensure the meat is cooked through. So pop one out and cut it in half. If there is ANY pink showing then it isn't ready. If not, then do a "quality control check" with a bit of red sauce you may have simmering at the same time. Be careful though - they taste best out of the pan and multiple checks will draw attention from the family.
