Veal, pork and beef with parsley, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, homemade breadcrumbs and however you spell parm from Italy. Idk, I’m trying, folks.
Edit: here’s the first spaghetti and meatball dish I ever made but it didn’t go over very well with the Italian crowd so I figured I’d try a second time lol. This time I made the marinara from tomatoes I grew
Seems like a lot of herbs for a true meatball from Nonna’s kitchen

I think meatballs recipes should be subjectives to your preferences: I am Italian, and yet I don’t put eggs in my meatballs, but just a tiny drop of milk to soften the bread. I do 50/50 Beef and Pork and honestly I love them.
Yours look great to me, the fun part is to always change / adjust the recipe and find new ways to give them more flavour!

This [site](https://www.cucchiaio.it/ricerca.html/?param=Polpette+&full=&_charset_=UTF-8) is the bible for traditional receipts since decades (it was a book before). Just search for “polpette” and use a translator 😉
Those look to be bigger than a typical Italian style Polpette. Still looks good..
What makes a meatball look American?
They look raw. You should cook them
Ma io che cazzo ne so, scusa?
They look like meatballs
