Steps:
- In a large bowl add ground beef and crumble it with a wooden spoon or simply using your fingers.
- Add finely chopped shallot. I like to use a microplane grater as it extracts all the juices to go with the meat and minces the shallot really well.
- Add ground nutmeg, breadcrumbs, egg(s) and Parmesan cheese.
- Mix everything well with your hands.
- Slowly pour in the milk. Mix again until smooth and even texture.
- Add salt and pepper.
- If the mixture feels too dry add some more milk, if way too soft, almost liquid-y - add more breadcrumbs.
- An ideal meatball mix should be moist, easy to roll in your hands and hold the shape.
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Pinch of about an ounce of meat and roll it between the palms of your hands giving it a smooth round shape with no cracks.
- With an ounce of meat you'll have medium size meatballs, think walnut size.
- Of course you can make your meatballs smaller or bigger, depending your preference.
- Place rolled meatballs on a baking sheet (see notes!).Line with parchment paper to avoid extra cleaning.Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
- In a large skillet pan add a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
- Add baked meatballs, tomato pure (clean the can/bottle with about a quarter cup water and add to the sauce).
- Add garlic cloves crushed with a flat knife, handful of fresh basil leaves and generous drizzle of dried oregano.
- Bring to simmer and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes.
AUTHENTIC ITALIAN MEATBALLS/POLPETTE
My mom's friend who is Italian gave me a copy of her family cookbook that they had bound and published. It was a wedding shower gift that I treasure. As a newlywed I used this recipe a lot! I've been married 16 years and I make these with spaghetti, for meatball sandwiches, and smaller versions for appetizers to take in a crockpot to parties. Some friends think it is strange to put uncooked meatballs in the sauce, but that's what the recipe says to do. It cooks for a long time, and the meatballs keep their shape. I do not make my own spaghetti sauce. I buy two large jars of Ragu. No one seems to notice, or care!!Always a hit!!! Makes a lot and freezes well.

- Place the bread cubes in a small bowl. Pour the milk over the cubes and let them set for a few minutes, so that the bread absorbs the milk.
- In a large bowl, combine the meat, eggs, cheese, garlic, parsley, salt,pepper, and soaked bread cubes (along with any milk that hasn't absorbed). Mix, using your hands, until everything is evenly distributed.
- Shape the mixture into balls of your desired size. (We like to use a rounded Tablespoon for smaller meatballs or two rounded Tablespoons for larger meatballs.)
- To cook the meatballs, pre-heat your broiler to high. Place the rolled meatballs 1 inch apart on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet. Broil the meatballs for 5-7 min, checking often, until lightly golden.
