Time 30m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

One 24-ounce jar arrabbiata pasta sauce
1/2 cup sliced hot cherry peppers
12 store-bought spicy Italian meatballs (from the meat counter)
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
One 8-ounce log fresh mozzarella, cut into 12 slices
8 to 12 fresh basil leaves, torn
Crusty bread, salad leaves and Italian salad dressing, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Add the arrabbiata sauce to a 12-inch cast-iron skillet and top with the peppers. Add the meatballs, then bake until the meatballs are cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the oven, then turn the oven to the broiler setting.
  • Sprinkle the crushed red pepper flakes over the meatballs, then lay a slice of mozzarella over the top of each meatball. Place under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes to melt the cheese, watching closely so that nothing burns. Scatter over the torn basil.
  • Serve with crusty bread and a dressed salad.

These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover meat. I made them with ground beef and they were still very flavorful.
