Heat a frying pan with extra virgin olive oil and rosemary. Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs. Cook meatballs until browned on all sides.
Your meatballs are now ready to be served, either as a dish accompanied by accompaniments, or as an appetizer accompanied by the sauces below.
For the tomato sauce, heat the olive oil and garlic in a small saucepan. Add the crushed tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes have melted into a sauce.
For the spicy mayo sauce, mix the mayonnaise in a small bowl with the minced garlic and spices.
