Rachel's Pesto Meatballs

From Cortesi Food

Very good. I think this is from Real Simple.

• 1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 3/4 cup pesto
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 3/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Grated Parmesan cheese

Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, 1/2 cup pesto, egg, salt, and pepper in large mixing bowl. Form into 12 meatballs (1/4 cup each). Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Turn, and then bake for another 10 minutes. Combine remaining 1/4 cup of pesto with olive oil, and spoon over meatballs. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Serve with couscous.
