"I got this recipe from my Cooking Light friends though this isn't exactly a light recipe! But it's oh so good!"

 

• Ready In: 2hrs 10mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Yields: 30 meatballs

ingredients

• 2 lbs ground chuck (I've used extra lean ground beef, and it turns out fine)
• 1⁄2 lb ground pork
• 2 cups Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1⁄2 cup grated cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves (chopped fine)
• 1 onion (minced)
• 1⁄2 cup pine nuts (optional)

directions

1. Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly; let stand 1/2 hour. Shape into medium-sized meatballs. Fry gently in olive oil until lightly brown, or place on foil in a cookie sheet and bake in a 350 oven for 30 minutes.
2. Gently place in your own hot spaghetti sauce and cook on medium-low heat for one hour.

This is the exact recipe from Dom DeLuise's book 'Eat it, it will make you feel better.' It is his Mother's recipe.
