Scrumptious meal! I used fresh kale and parsley from the garden and the kale cooked this way is delish! Since this meatball recipe is the same as the one with tomato sauce, I knew I’d want a little more seasoning so, I used ¾ teaspoon salt, a heaping ¼ teaspoon pepper, and 1-½ teaspoons of Italian seasoning. This addition satisfied my taste buds! With all the heavy cream and parmesan, I found this very filling and only needed two meatballs and sauce to fill me up. My husband had three and was full. Highly recommend because this reheats well, too!

So delicious! The only change I made was to use gluten-free flour instead of almond flour.
