What Are Italian Meatballs?

Italian meatballs are made of ground beef, pork, veal, or a combination thereof. They are seasoned with aromatic herbs like parsley and oregano, as well as garlic and parmesan cheese. The mixture is then rolled into balls and fried in a pan until golden-brown. After that, they are simmered in a rich tomato sauce or served on their own with your favorite sides.

How To Make Italian Meatballs

Making Italian meatballs is surprisingly easy! Start by combining all of the ingredients together in a bowl; mix them together until everything is evenly distributed. Then roll the mixture into small balls—the size depends on your preference—and bake them in a pan until they reach an even brown color. Serve them with pasta, polenta, mashed potatoes—whatever you fancy!

How To Reheat Leftover Meatballs

Leftover meatballs taste just as good as freshly-made ones! To reheat them, simply place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes or until they’re hot throughout. Alternatively, you can simmer them in sauce over medium heat for 5 minutes or so until heated through.

Conclusion

Whether you serve them up on their own with sides or smothered in tomato sauce atop some spaghetti noodles, these tender morsels of beef and pork bring flavor to every bite! Plus making them is super easy too; just combine all of the ingredients together, roll into balls and bake until golden-brown! Delicious homemade Italian meatballs ready to enjoy! Bon Appetit!
