Once the meatballs have formed, place them into the oven and let them bake or 15-18 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 150 degrees Fahrenheit.Ā
In a large, deep pan or pot, heat a few tbsp of olive oil over medium heat.Ā
Add in the onion and the garlic and cook until the onion becomes translucent.
Once the onion has cooked, add in the tomato sauce and the coconut milk. Stir to incorporate.Ā
Bring the mixture to a simmer and add in the tomato paste and date syrup.Ā
Reduce the heat and let cook.Ā
Stir and add in the arrowroot starch to thicken.
Once the meatballs are finished in the oven, place them into the sauce and allow to finish cooking for another 5-7 minutes.Ā
