Greek Pasta with Meatballs

Preheat oven to 375°.

Combine breadcrumbs, next 5 ingredients, and 1 1/2 tablespoons parsley in a medium bowl. Add egg whites, stirring mixture until just combined. Shape mixture into 12 (1 1/2-inch) meatballs; cover and chill meatballs 5 minutes.

Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatballs to pan; cook 8 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Drain well; wipe pan clean with paper towels. Return meatballs to pan. Spoon marinara sauce over meatballs; sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 375° for 12 to 13 minutes or until meatballs are done. Sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons parsley. Serve over orzo.
