For a richer flavor, brown the meatballs in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will ensure they develop a nice crust. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the sauce after simmering. Serve over your favorite cooked spaghetti or pasta. Garnish with fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. These meatballs freeze wonderfully! Allow them to cool completely in the sauce, then transfer to freezer-safe containers. Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Nov 15, 2024I substituted ground turkey for the ground beef, and it worked great. I also added a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little extra heat.
