Soak 1/2 loaf stale Italian bread in warm water, squeeze water out and add bread "pulp" to a mixing bowl.
Add in the following:
2 eggs
1 1/3 lb. ground beef (nana used veal & beef)
1/2 -1 C grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
1/2 C fresh chopped basil
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
Salt & pepper to taste.
Nana made them into balls and fried them on the stovetop- so they had a nice crispy coating- I took the easy way tonight by using a large scoop to portion them out, rolled them and placed them in a 9x13 pan and baked in a preheated oven at 375 for 30 minutes. Add them to your fave sauce& pasta, and whammo, delish dinner!
