2. Pro-tip: Try frying in bacon grease if you have any, it adds another level of flavor. Frying produces a golden brown color.
3. Make the Parmigiana:
4. Place the cooked meatballs in an oven safe dish. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon sauce over each meatball. Cover with approximately 1/4 ounce of mozzarella cheese each.
5. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes (40 minutes if meatballs are frozen) or until heated through and the cheese is golden. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
