SICILIAN MEATBALLS

Everyone I share this recipe with agrees:
THE BEST MEATBALLS EVER

2/3 cup fresh breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons milk
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 large egg
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound sweet Italian sausages, casings removed
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
2 tablespoons dried currants

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil baking sheet. Mix crumbs and milk in medium bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Mix in Parmesan, onion, basil, egg, garlic and pepper. Add sausage, pine nuts and currants; blend well. Using wet hands, form mixture into 1 1/4-inch balls. Place on baking sheet. Bake until meatballs are light brown and cooked through, about 30 minutes.

Simmer meatballs in your favorite sauce and serve over your favorite pasta. Or make a monster meatball sub sandwich. They're also great on pizza.

I find it highly suspicious that the world famous pizza doughs are missing from this blog. Please be kind enough to share the love with the world.
