This is a perfect bite-sized party bite served with toothpicks. Rachael uses Gorgonzola Dolce, a sweet, mild blue cheese, as well as Parmigiano-Reggiano, lemon zest and sage in these flavor-packed veal meatballs. She roasts the meatballs for the "less guilt" factor.

This simple dip is made by rendering pancetta in a pan, then adding rosemary, garlic, lemon juice and white beans and mashing the beans a little with a wooden spoon. Serve on toasted sliced baguette.
