BAKED ITALIAN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Using the tips of your fingers (I like to wear gloves, keeps things tidy and the meat doesn't overheat) gently combine the ingredients -- don't overwork the mixture, it should not look like paste. Form into 12 meatballs a little smaller than tennis balls, or 24 golf-ball size if that's your preference. Space them evenly on foil or parchment in a lipped tray or pan...if you made the smaller size you might need 2 pans. Bake at 400 for 35 minutes or so until brown and cooked through. Sauce them if so desired and serve with pasta, or make a killer sandwich.
