17 Marck 461 - PATRICK, IRISH BISHOP, DIES: Legend has it that on this
day the Christian missionary and bishop Patrick dies in Ireland. He will
be revered for his works and life, and by the seventh century he will
have become Ireland's patron saint. Patrick's thoughts on green beer and
'Kiss me I'm Irish' t-shirts will be lost to the ages.

Title: Patrick Anthony's Meatballs
Categories: Beef, Breads, Cheese, Pasta, Herbs
Yield: 2 Servings

1 sl White bread; crusts removed,
- torn
+=SOAKED IN=+
1 tb Cold water
225 g Minced beef
1 md Egg; lightly beaten
1 tb Chopped fresh parsley
25 g Freshly grated Parmesan
- cheese; more to serve
1 cl Garlic; crushed
2 ts Chopped fresh oregano
- leaves
+=OR=+
1 ts Freeze-dried oregano
Italian pesto
2 tb Olive oil
320 g Jar pasta sauce; any tomato
- flavour
200 g Dried penne

Squeeze the soaked bread dry in your hand, then combine
in a bowl with the minced beef, egg, parsley, Parmesan,
garlic, oregano and seasoning. Mix well, then form the
mixture into eight meatballs and flatten slightly. Heat
a large pan of salted water for the pasta.

Heat the oil in a frying pan, and brown the meatballs on
all sides - this will take about 5 minutes. Meanwhile,
heat the pasta sauce in a pan. Spoon off any excess oil
from the meatballs, add the meatballs to the tomato
sauce and simmer gently for 10 minutes, until they are
cooked through and there is no pink meat.

Cook the pasta, according to the directions on the
packet, while the meatballs are simmering. Drain, then
stir the pesto into the pasta.

Place the meatballs on a bed of pasta, garnished with
dressed. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and
serve with Italian-style bread.
