Here is how you make Traditional Italian Meatballs:

Place meat in mixing bowl and add 1/2 salt. Combine well to mix meat. This is import in this recipe to incorporate after you add each ingredient so it is equally distributed. Saute onions and garlic (can add oil, I don't). Once they are cooled, add to meat along with Parsley. Mix well. In a separate dish crack eggs and slightly scramble with water and remaining salt; add to mixture and mix. Once the mixture is a bit "soupy" add Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs. Mix well and note that the final mixture will be a loose binding. This makes a moist meatball. I use an ice cream scoop to evenly portion each and roll into a ball. I place them on an ungreased broiler pan (to drain excess fat) and bake at 350 for approximately 20 minutes. Test for doneness by breaking open a meatball and looking for pinkness. If serving with red sauce, I place the desired number of meatballs in a baking dish and cover with red sauce and bake an additional 10 minutes before serving.
