What goes with spaghetti and meatballs?

Garlic bread is an absolute must – ideally freshly baked so your house is filled with the irresistible aroma of garlic, oregano, and butter wafting from the oven. A crisp green salad dressed with olive oil and lemon juice rounds out the meal as a light counterpoint to its richness; try adding things like olives or artichokes for more texture.

How do you make cooked meatballs taste better?

One of the simplest ways to give your meatballs a boost is to add herbs and spices. Stirring in some parsley or oregano, as well as salt and black pepper to create a tasty blend that adds flavor without overpowering the dish. Other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika can be used as well. You could also try adding chili flakes for a spicy kick!

Is it better to cook meatballs in a saucepan or oven?

It depends on the type of meatball you're making! Generally, if you're looking to cook classic beef or pork-based meatballs, an oven is ideal. The heat and spread of a conventional oven will help cook the meatballs evenly and nicely brown them on the outside while they can steam inside.
