Instructions
Meatballs
Mix meatball ingredients together. Roll into meatballs (about 22-25.) Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Coat the bottom of the pan with olive oil. Add meatballs and cook until browned on all sides. Remove from pan and set aside. Note - I left mine uncovered while they sat.
Sauce
Add peppers to the same pan, plus a little more oil if you need it. Saute, scraping browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Sauté for 5-10 minutes. Add garlic and saute for an additional 30 seconds.
Add meatballs back into the pan. Stir in tomato sauce and capers (if using). Bring to a low simmer and cook for about 10 minutes (add a little water if it gets too dry).
Orzo
Cook orzo according to package directions. Drain and toss with your creamy ingredient of choice. Season with salt, 1/4 cup Parmesan, and parsley.
Serve meatballs and orzo with an additional sprinkle of Parmesan and parsley, if desired..
