This is one you'll be proud to present at parties! If you allow the meatballs to cool and then freeze, they make amazing, convenient meals!

Ingredients

1 ½ cups Italian bread crumbs
2 eggs
½ cup grated Romano cheese
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ tablespoons chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
salt to taste

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
