Use a mixture of ground meats: Using a combination of ground beef and pork gives the meatballs a more tender texture and rich flavor. If you want leaner meatballs, ground turkey or chicken can also work.
Add breadcrumbs carefully: The breadcrumbs help bind the meatballs, but too much can make them dry. Adjust as necessary to get a tender, cohesive texture.
Simmer for flavor: Allowing the sauce to simmer with the meatballs enhances the flavors. Be sure to taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Cook pasta al dente: It’s best to cook the pasta to al dente, as it will absorb some sauce when tossed, preventing it from becoming too soft.
