Recipe Tips
To give the meatballs an extra boost of flavour, try adding your favourite herbs and spices. Fresh herbs like parsley, oregano and basil work well. You can also add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the mixture for a deeper flavour. For a kick of heat, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.
If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you can still make this recipe. Cook the meatballs in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Then transfer to a baking dish, cover with sauce and bake in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes.
