These are a little spicier than traditional meatballs to give it that extra kick.
If you aren’t into spicy foods, just leave out the hot sauce, chili flakes and chili pepper. You can add some Parmesan or mozzarella cheese to them for even more deliciousness.
You can serve these over zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash for a delicious lunch or dinner. Or they are delicious all by themselves.
