Pesto Meatballs

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400'F and line baking sheets with unbleached parchment paper.

   TO MAKE PESTO: In a food processor, process basil leaves until completely broken up. Add garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and fat of choice and continue to process until well incorporated and smooth.

3. 3

   Mix ground beef and eggs together in a large bowl. Add basil pesto, breadcrumbs, and mix again. I just get in there with my hands.

   Form into small balls and place onto lined baking sheets.

5. 5

   Bake for 22-24 minutes, or until cooked all the way through and starting to brown.

   Enjoy! To freeze for later, freeze in single layers then place into airtight container.
