Mezzetta, Rao’s, and DeLallo are some of my go-to brands for marinara, or use a Homemade Marinara if you’ve got more time.
This recipe is written for 1″ pre-cooked frozen meatballs that you’d find in your grocery store. You can use larger meatballs, but cooking time will need to increase, or thaw them beforehand.
Meatballs are cooked when 160F in the middle. Use an inexpensive instant read thermometer to monitor when they’re the right temperature.
