Preparation

Step 1

Grease a large casserole dish.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine all meatball ingredients and form into 1" balls.

Place on a foil lined pan and bake 18-20 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 350 degrees.

Boil the pasta until just al dente (about 3 minutes for fresh pasta). Drain and toss with olive oil.

Stir together egg, parsley, pepper, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese & pepper to taste. Toss with the pasta and place in prepared dish.

Top with meatballs and pasta sauce. Cover with foil and bake 35 minutes. Remove foil, top with remaining cheeses and continue to bake until cheese is melted and browned.
