Combine the meatballs and the sauce in the pot. Turn down the heat, cover and simmer 40 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked and the sauce thickens.
⚙ SimmeringStovePotLid
💡Drop the meatballs into boiling sauce and don't stir at first: that way they firm up and keep their shape.
💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.

Serve hot with bread.
