Directions

• Heat oven to 300° F. Mix meat with grated Cello Romano, onions, parsley, garlic and salt just until blended.
• Shape into 2-inch meatballs. Roll meatballs, one at a time, in flour until evenly coated.
• Heat oil in large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs; cook until evenly browned on all sides, turning as needed. Drain meatballs; return to skillet.
• Stir in spaghetti sauce and wine; simmer over medium-low heat until meatballs are done (160° F) and sauce is thickened, stirring occasionally.
• Add the shaved cheese; stir to combine. Bake 5 to 10 minutes or until heated through.
• Sprinkle with additional grated cheese before serving, if desired.
