The key here is to use fresh shredded Parmesan cheese. That means you grate it yourself or buy a bag already grated… just not that powdered stuff in the shaker. Don’t grate it too fine or it won’t bubble out and look pretty when you cook the meatballs.
In the image, the meatball is sitting atop chickpea pasta and a simple, yet ridiculously tasty, tomato sauce. I’ll share the recipe next time.
