onion, green epper and about one cup of bread crumbs in mixing bin.  Mix
lightly. Add eggs and extrude.  Ad bread crumbs by the tablespoonful 
through the
top grates as necessary to keep the mixture extruding and from bunching up
around the blades.  Extrude in 1 1/2" pieces and roll each into a ball. 
Saute in
a pan with 2 tb. olive oil until browned, or put on broiler rack and bake 
in a
350~ oven for about 30 minutes or until browned and firm.   The oven

most efficient if doing a large quantity for the freezer. If to be frozen, 
cool

serve
with pasta, add to Spaghetti Sauce (bottled or homemade) and simmer for 30
minutes.  From:  Popiel pasta machine recipes
