Italian Style Meatballs

Ingredients: 
12 oz Lean Ground Pork
84 g Whole Wheat seasoned breadcrumbs
28 g Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 Egg

4 Cups of Joe's Homemade Pasta Sauce

* Salt
* Pepper
* Garlic Powder

Preparation:
In a large bowl, mix together meat, breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese until well incorporated. Once mixed well so that there are no dry ingredients separate from the mixture, add the egg, salt, pepper and garlic powder.  

Roll Meatballs to whatever size you would like (recommended between 23 - 27 g per meatball) (makes approximately 20 at that size). 

In a large pot/saucepan/stockpot/dutch oven, heat up pasta sauce over low heat. (Dutch oven is recommended since it can keep the contents hot without applying as much direct heat over a longer period of time). 

Once Sauce is simmering, add meatballs and cover. 

Cook for approximately 1 hour or until you can smell the garlic powder filling the air. 



Serving: 
Recommended to serve these with some spaghetti, other pasta, and or in a sandwich. 

Nutrition Info:  
Each meatball is approximately 2 Weight Watchers Points Plus points, recommended servings are between 4 and 6; or it can be summarized as 22 points for approximately 20 meatballs.
