You can use shredded Parmesan if that\u2019s what you have, though<\/li>\n<li>Egg: I use an egg to help bind the meatballs and add moisture. If you need to make these egg-free, omit it and add a splash of milk instead. They will hold together fine.<\/li>\n<li>Marinara sauce: You can use a jar of store bought marinara or use my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yummytoddlerfood.com\/easy-veggie-loaded-marinara-sauce\/\">Easy Marinara Sauce recipe<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yummytoddlerfood.com\/hidden-veggie-pasta-sauce\/\">Hidden Veggie Pasta Sauce<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yummytoddlerfood.com\/roasted-vegetable-pasta-sauce\/\">Roasted Vegetable Pasta Sauce<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Pasta: I like to use a small shape of pasta\u2014such as orecchiette, rotini, or small shells\u2014so it\u2019s easy to eat along with the meatballs, but really any kind of pasta your family prefers is fine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>TIP:<\/strong> You can top each serving with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese if you like.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-chicken-meatball-pasta\">How to Make Chicken Meatball Pasta <\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s a preview of how to make this Chicken Meatball Pasta so you know what to expect from the process.
