Meatballs

These meatballs we about the best meatballs I've ever had.  Definitely a reason to eat pasta or "noodles" made from squash.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb of ground beef, preferably grass-fed
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/3 cup whole-wheat breadcrumbs
• 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup carrot bits (grind them in the food processor, grate them, dice them or mince them)

• Pepper to taste (which I don't use)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425*F
2. Mix together all the ingredients in a large bowl (hands work best)
3. Generously grease a baking sheet with olive oil
4. Roll the beef mixture into meatballs the size of golf balls.  Place them in rows on the greased baking sheet
5. Bake for 9 - 11 minutes or until brown all the way through
