Ms Victoria's Pesto Meatballs

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix all ingredients well, the best tool for this is your well washed hands.  Form meatballs and place on a greased glass baking dish. I use grape seed oil.

Bake in a 375° pre-heated oven for ten to eighteen minutes.  Watch carefully as ovens vary.  I have a convection oven with a “roast” setting.  This gives the meatballs a lovely finish but it does bake faster.  Best advice: don’t walk away from the kitchen!

I make one inch diameter meatballs for appetizers, and two inch diameter for pasta or subs.  Makes 20-24 large meatballs and 40-48 small meatballs.

These meatballs are gluten-free; however, they do contain eggs, dairy, and tree nuts.

Enjoy!
