What a great cocktail meatball!
The meatballs go together very quickly. I used a small scoop, so they were bite size.
You get just a hint of the cheese with the meat ball. It isn’t overwhelming, but does give some flavor.
For the pasta sauce I used some that I had made from the garden over the summer. My sauce is heavy on the basil and oregano, so there was a lot of flavor from that as well.
I served them in a casserole dish placed on my electric warming plate. They stayed nice and warm through out the party. Okay, we were watching sports, but still . . .
The parmesan gives a nice little saltiness at the end.
Very good meatballs and a very good appetizer!
