Notes

Make ahead options: This is a great make ahead meal! I almost always make the meatballs early in the day, then just place them on the buttered baking sheet, cover them with foil, and place it in the fridge until I'm ready to make dinner.  It makes dinner time so much more peaceful! 
What to serve with it:  This dish has plenty of flavor so we usually have a simple steamed vegetable with it.
