Ingredients:
- 1 cup unseasoned breadcrumbs
- 3/4 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated (romano may be substituted. for best flavor, splurge on a chunk of cheese rather than use the caniste)
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (i usually cut this in half since most of my family is very spice-sensitive)
- 2 lbs ground chuck (80-85% is good. i don'tsp recommend using very low fat beef for these, they won'tsp have the right textu)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Stir together first 13 ingredients (bread crumbs to nutmeg) in a large bowl.
- Add the meat and mix thoroughly (I use a fork to mix, to prevent overhandling the meat). Shape meat mixture into 2-inch balls, approximately 1 1/2 oz each by weight (I like to use a #30 scoop to portion them out, then I roll them into balls by hand).
- Spray a shallow pan (such as a baking sheet with an edge all around) with nonstick cooking spray. Place meatballs on the prepared pan, taking care not to crowd them or let them touch).
- Pour the 1 cup of beef broth into the bottom of the pan (make sure bottom of pan is covered). Bake for 25 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through.
- Reserve the pan juices to make the tomato sauce (recipe posted separately).
