Notes

If you can't find ground Italian sausage, you can use Italian sausage removed from the casings.
Don’t hesitate to throw in some extra herbs or spices to the marinara sauce to match your taste!
Using good-quality Italian sausage and lean ground beef really boosts the flavor and texture.
Letting the meatballs chill for a bit before cooking helps them keep their shape.
