Place the meatballs on a rack in a sheet pan and bake for 20-25 minutes at 400° or until cooked through. They should register at least 160° F on an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball.

Return meatballs to pan and stir meatballs in sauce over med-low heat on stove top for about 5 minutes
