More About This Recipe

• Baking, instead of pan frying, these meatballs allows you to speed up prep time and work on the rest of the meal while they�re cooking. Use the baking time to create a first-course antipasto platter of meats and cheeses. Then pull together a Caesar salad, warm up garlic bread (right in the oven in which the meatballs are cooking) or steam some fresh vegetables to accompany the meal. When it�s time for dessert, scoop up dishes of Neapolitan ice cream or fruity gelato, and you�ve created your own Italian feast. This baked meatball recipe has been a go-to classic for generations of home cooks, who rely on its precisely perfect proportions of meat, bread crumbs, milk, egg and seasonings.
