Italian Meatballs

I received this recipe from a friend when I was in my early 20s. It's a nice alternative to your regular meatball recipe and is great served with your favorite marinara sauce over hot pasta.

1 pound hamburger
1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
1 tsp dried parsley
garlic salt, to taste
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
1/2 cup milk
1 egg

Mix all the ingredients together and form into meatballs the size of a walnut. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment and bake in a 400 degree oven just long enough until they are well browned. They will finish cooking in the marinara sauce. OR, you could bake them until they are completely cooked through, about 20 minutes, or so. 

Drain on paper towels. Add to your favorite marinara sauce, and simmer in the sauce for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until cooked through. Serve over hot, cooked pasta.
