Rocco's Recipe of the Week - Fabrizio Carro's Polpettine

Since I found the recipes for Rocco's Dinner Party on the Bravo site, I thought I'd post one here after each episode, a la "Top Recipe." This week, Fabrizio Carro's meatballs:

1 pounds ground beef
2 eggs
2 ounces parmesan cheese
6 ounces white bread
4 ounces milk
1 ounce parsley
1 pound tomato sauce
2 ounces extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS
1. Put milk and bread in a mixing bowl, and let the bread absorb the milk.

2. In a mixing bowl, add meat, eggs, parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, pepper, and the bread (squeeze out the milk before adding).

3. Mix together and create 16 mini polpettine.

4. In a large pan, add the oil and seared one side of the mini polpettine for a few minutes, turn up side down the polpettine and add the tomato sauce.

5. Cover and cook for 5 min a slow fire serve with some parmesan on top.
