I like to make these meatballs about the size of Ping-Pong balls and toss them with tomato sauce and spaghetti. Sometimes I make them a bit smaller, roll them while still hot in grated Parmesan cheese, and serve them as an hors d’oeuvre.

Food editor Gina Marie Miraglia Eriquez often cooks for hordes of children, including her three-year-old son, Alex, and she knows that meatballs are always an easy sell. Inspired by the tiny meatball sandwiches served at New York City's Little Owl restaurant, she came up with these kid-size treats that can be eaten with one hand (leaving the other one free to wreak kid-size havoc).

Join Chrissy Tracey as she makes vegan meatballs with a Marcella Hazan inspired tomato sauce. This recipe was actually inspired by Chris Morocco's (non-vegan) meatball recipe. Instead of using beef, Chrissy uses lentils as the mainframe of the meatball, mixed with oat milk-soaked bread. The oat milk adds a little more fat content to the recipe, giving the meatballs a much fuller taste.
