Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs With Vodka Sauce Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Versatility is the key in this recipe. Use it as a main dish, a meatloaf mix, or for meatball. Italian-style meatballs are stuffed with miniature balls of mozzarella cheese and baked before being served with a vodka tomato sauce over pasta of your choice. Grated carrots melt into the tomato sauce and help neutralize the acidity of the tomatoes without adding any carrot flavor. The vodka may be omitted if necessary. The sauce works well on its own for any pasta dish. The meatball mixture may be formed into a meatloaf, with or without the mozzarella cheese stuffing.
