Notes

Recipe Variations:

  • Spicy Italian Meatballs: Add a kick to your meatballs by incorporating 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes into the meat mixture.
For the sauce, include a finely chopped red chili or a splash of hot sauce. This variation is perfect for those who love a little heat in their Italian dishes.
  • Cheesy Stuffed Meatballs: Create a surprise inside your meatballs by stuffing each one with a small cube of mozzarella cheese before cooking.
As the meatballs cook, the cheese will melt and create a gooey, delicious center that adds an extra layer of indulgence.
  • Herb-Infused Meatballs: Enhance the flavor profile by adding 1 teaspoon of dried Italian herbs (such as basil, thyme, and rosemary) to the meat mixture. You can also stir in some fresh basil or oregano into the sauce for an extra burst of herbaceous goodness.
This variation brings a fresh, aromatic twist to the classic recipe.
