Steps:

• 1. To make the meatballs, place the bread crumbs in a large bowl. Sprinkle with the milk and let stand until the crumbs soften, about 3 minutes. Add the ground round, eggs, shallots, parsley, salt, and pepper and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours.
• 2. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375°F. Lightly oil a metal roasting pan.
• 3. Using your wet hands rinsed under cold water, shape the meat mixture into 18 equal meatballs. Arrange in the roasting pan and bake until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
• 4. Transfer the meatballs to a plate. Pour out any fat in the pan. Heat the pan over medium-high heat until sizzling. Add 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil, scraping up the browned bits with a wooden spatula. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
• 5. Meanwhile, start the sauce. Combine the oil and pancetta in a large saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pancetta is browned, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to paper towels to drain.
