directions

For the meatballs:

1. Mix everything, form into 1-2 tablespoon balls and either pan fry in oil over medium-heat until browned on all sides, about 2-4 minutes per side OR roast in a preheated 350F/180C oven until lightly golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.

For the dip:

2. Spread the marinara sauce over the bottom of one or more baking pans, top with the meatballs and cheese and bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until the cheese has melted and the sides are bubbling, about 20-25 minutes, before serving with bread or toast for dipping!
