Pizzaola meatballs with bechamel sauce: For a creamy touch, you can add a layer of bechamel sauce before covering the pellets with mozzarella. This will bring extra richness to your dish while retaining the classic appearance of pizzaola.
Spicy pizza balls: If you like spicy flavors, do not hesitate to add a pinch of Espelette pepper or red chilli flakes in the tomato sauce. This will give your pellets a spicy note that will enhance the taste.
Vegetarian version: For a meatless version, replace ground beef with green lentils or plant protein. You can also add chopped vegetables such as courgettes or eggplants into the mixture for an even lighter option.
Pizzaola meatballs with vegetables: Add seasonal vegetables, such as peppers, mushrooms or courgettes, to the tomato sauce for a more complete and balanced version. These vegetables will add both color and additional flavors.
