In the meantime, wash and drain the parsley, pick off the leaves and chop.
5. Add the minced meat balls and half of the parsley to the sauce and continue cooking for about 10 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve with baguette, rice or pasta if desired. Bon appetit
