INGREDIENTS:
MEATBALLS:
¾ cup panko bread crumbs
1 large egg
½ cup parmesan cheese
¼ cup chopped parsley
3 clove garlic, grated
½ teaspoon EACH: Italian seasoning AND onion powder
pinch of red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
½ teaspoon EACH: salt and pepper
1 – 1 ¼ pounds ground chicken (or turkey)
2 tablespoons olive oil
HOMEMADE TOMATO SAUCE:
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup chopped onions
1 (28 ounce) can crushed Italian tomatoes
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ cup water
1 tablespoons basil pesto (homemade or store-bought)
¼ teaspoon crushed fennel seeds
POLENTA:
6 cups cooking liquid (broth, water, milk, or cream – see notes)

½ cup grated parmesan
1 tablespoon butter
