Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Mix all the meatball ingredients together and roll into 20-24 small meatballs.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the bottom of a shallow Dutch oven or oven-safe pan, then add the meatballs.
  4. Bake on a middle rack for 20-25 minutes, until nicely browned. Loosen them gently from the bottom of the pan with a spatula.
  5. Add the tomato sauce to the pan and stir to coat the meatballs.
  6. Mix the 1/4 cup panko, 1/4 cup Parmesan, 2 teaspoons olive oil and parsley in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the meatballs and sauce.
  7. Return to the oven for 5-7 minutes to warm the sauce. Turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes until the topping is golden, watching closely so it doesn't burn.
