For a richer flavor, consider browning the meatballs in a little oil before adding them to the skillet. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water to reach your desired consistency. These meatballs are also delicious served as appetizers. Simply spear them with toothpicks and arrange on a platter.
