A Easy Italian Dinner, Thanks to Just 3 Ingredients
This simple recipe is proof that precooked meatballs are worth keeping in your freezer. When combined with marinara sauce and lots of mozzarella cheese, they transform into a meaty main that will excite everyone in the family. How you serve this comforting meal is up to you, although we highly suggest stuffing the meatballs inside bread rolls for meatballs subs, or simply spooning them over spaghetti.
