Cooking Tips

• To make the meatballs ahead of time, you can shape them and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before cooking.
• If you prefer a crispy exterior, you can bake the meatballs in the oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes instead of pan-frying them.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover meatballs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, you can warm them in a skillet with sauce or in the microwave.
• Serve the meatballs with spaghetti and marinara sauce for a classic Italian meal, or with toothpicks as an appetizer at parties.
