For enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a clove of minced garlic to the meatball mixture. Serve these delectable meatballs with your favorite marinara sauce, pesto, or creamy dipping sauce. They're also fantastic in sliders or atop a bed of pasta. Meatballs can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 2-3 minutes of cook time if starting from cold. Leftover baked meatballs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
