- Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs (about the size of a golf ball).
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the sauce (recipe not included, use your favorite marinara!).
- Gently drop the meatballs into the simmering sauce.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2-2.5 hours, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Serve over your favorite pasta or with crusty bread for dipping. Buon appetito!
