What is the best cheese to melt on top of meatballs?

Baked Italian Meatballs with Pasta – Easy Cheesy RecipeMy favorite cheese to melt on top of baked Italian meatballs is mozzarella. As it bakes, the cheese fills every crevice of the dish. It has a mild flavor too, so you can taste the boldness of the marinara and the sweetness of the meatballs.

What can you make with leftover meatballs?

My favorite thing to make with leftover Italian baked meatballs is a meatball grinder. All you need to do is reheat the meatballs in the marinara sauce. Then, place them on a piece of sliced French bread. Top with your mozzarella cheese. You can heat it in a toaster oven or microwave to enjoy it warm.

What to Serve with Baked Italian Meatballs and Pasta

Some of my favorite and easy side dishes include:

  • Chopped Italian salad
  • Steamed veggies
  • Roasted veggies
  • Garlic bread
