Notes
- Tips on serving with sauce:
- To add a little more flavor to your meatballs put them in a pot with your favorite sauce and simmer for 10-15 minutes to let them absorb some of that flavor.
- If you're short on time you can just toss them in the sauce and immediately serve over your preferred pasta, in a sandwich, or on their own. Top with more sauce and cheese and enjoy!
