- 1 1/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Direcciones
- Chop together garlic and parsley (a cleaver works well).
- Put grnd beef in large mixing bowl. Add in garlic and parsley. Then add in egg, cheese, spices and breads crumbs. Remove jewelry and combine well, but mix lightly with "just washed" hands. Do not overmix or possibly compress the mix.
- Take mix and make into balls (do not press too tightly or possibly the meatballs will be tough). Fry in 1/2 inch of good extra virgin olive oil.
- Optional: Add in to boiling spaghetti sauce and simmer till ready to serve.
- Editor's Note: You can use chunks of Italian bread soaked in lowfat milk and squeezed dry as a substitute for the bread crumbs. Add in whole cloves of garlic to the extra virgin olive oil; mash them in with a fork as they roast. Add in two bay leaves to the frying oil.
