Okay, so, for the last three months this has been my working kitchen. One burner, my lovely toaster oven, my cuisinart, and me; in my living room, I might add. I have learned quite a bit, about timing, planning, and deferred gratification. Happily, however, this spigot-for-a-dishwasher bad dream is nearly over, and I hope to be in a new, though evolving, kitchen next week, and bringing you more than one-pan plans as I continue to build my dream cookbook right here on Nomnoshery.com.

Meatballs

Meatballs

2/3 c (2 slices) fresh breadcrumbs,

 Seasoned with:

1 tsp seasoned salt

1/2 tsp oregano

1/4 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp red or black pepper

2 cloves minced or pressed garlic

1/4 c minced onion

1/2 lb ground beef

1 egg

1 tsp worcestershire sauce

In food processor, make and season breadcrumbs; remove these to large bowl before tossing onion and garlic into the food processor to mince, then reintroducing breadcrumbs; pulse to combine.

Mash all ingredients together by hand in large bowl, then form superball-sized balls and (non-stick) pan fry in a bit of olive oil, turning each meatball at least 3 times for browning. Simmer in marinara sauce for flavor.

Serve over spaghetti noodles, or on hoagie rolls (with cheeese) for a meatball sub.
