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.
