This is very moist and highly seasoned from the spices and herbs you add and those in the breadcrumbs & sausage! You can make a small meatball and fry it to taste test for additional seasoning. This is the point where you can tell if you need to add salt as well as spice! But I doubt it! As for the parmesan, bread crumbs and sausage is salty. Ingredients:
