Rachel's Pesto Meatballs

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.
