Cooking

  • Chop your onion on the side.
  • Once the meatballs look good, put them on a plate and add the butter, diced onions, and garlic. Mix until the onions look soft. Add in the jar of sun-dried tomato, making sure to drain the oil.
  • While you're mixing this together, add in the vegetable broth and heavy cream. Mix.
  • Add in your baby spinach and mix until it wilts.
  • Pop the meatballs back in and coat them in the heavy cream mixture. Sizzle the meatballs in the mixture until they are cooked through.
  • If you need to confirm they're cooked, just take one out and cut it open. If they need more cook time, just let them sit and cook.
  • Enjoy alone warm or make a side to eat the meatballs with!
