I enjoy cooking and making pasta dishes with meatballs and "tomato sauce". Though having an Italian Grandmother and relatives, that's the only term I ever heard, not "gravy". Anyway, I do not fry or bake the meat balls. I make them and let them cook in the "sauce" I made. You?

It’s sauce!! Dammit. Lol ground beef, bread crumb, salt, pepper, garlic, oregano, parsley, parm cheese, egg. Brown in oil add to sauce to cook

They look great! I use the term tomato sauce. I usually bake them beforehand (or in crockpot) and then put them in the sauce.

Browned and then cooked in sauce. A little ricotta cheese mixed in the meatball recipe makes them even better

I fry mine and then mix with either sweet and sour or teriyaki glaze/sauce😊

Fried then put in tomato sauce and cooked slowly for about 15 mins before serving on the pasta. I add finely chopped bacon or chillies to the meatball mixture sometimes as it gives them a nice flavour.

I bake mine as the family likes meatball subs. Since the man likes his with bbq sauce and cole slaw, I don’t cook them in marinara.

New Orleans natives call it red gravy. I call it sauce even though my mother is from the bayou.
