1 whole Egg, Slightly Beaten
3/4 cups Soft Bread Crumbs, Not Dried
1/2 cups Onion, finely chopped
1/4 cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
3 Tablespoons Chopped Toasted Pine Nuts
3 Tablespoons Snipped Fresh Basil Or 1 Tbs. Dried

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
In a large bowl, combine egg, bread crumbs, onion, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, basil, salt, pepper and fennel, if using.
3
Add sausage and pork; mix well.
4
Shape into 24 meatballs (about golf ball size).
5
Place meatballs in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan or whatever you have that will hold 24 meatballs.
6
Bake about 20 minutes or until internal temperature reads 160 degrees.
7
Drain on paper towels.
8
If you are adding the meatballs to a red sauce you can cook the meatballs in the oven for about 15 minutes.
9
Then add them to the sauce and simmer for a bit so that the flavors meld.

I personally do not use hot sausage but I do add a few pinches of red pepper flakes and sometimes a little garlic.
