Method
 

Preparation
  1. Set your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Form 1.5-inch meatballs and place them on the baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes until cooked through.
Assembling the Casserole
  1. Place baked meatballs in a casserole dish. Top with tomato sauce, remaining mozzarella, and parmesan.

  3. Let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with basil or parsley and serve hot.
