Cooking Tips

• If you prefer a spicier sauce, you can add red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the tomato sauce.
• For a lighter version, you can bake the meatballs in the oven at 375°F for 20-25 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, place the meatballs and sauce in a saucepan over low heat until warmed through.
• Serve the meatballs with pasta, crusty bread, or as a topping for pizza or sandwiches.
