For a richer flavor, try browning the meatballs in a little bit of oil before adding them to the sauce. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) during the last 5 minutes of simmering. These meatballs can be made ahead of time and reheated. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
