I used dried parsley, used half of the parmesan cheese (to lower fat), crushed melba snack crackers, and ground beef and seasoned venison/pork sausage. My husband recommended shaping the meat into balls and tossing them into my palm like a baseball to pack the meatball together and compress air. The meatballs held together perfectly. My 2nd batch went together in a hurry and I skipped his suggestion. Shouldn't have been surprised when the meatballs fell apart while cooking in the sauce.
