Don’t rush the sauce

Don’t rush the sauce. It’s worth it. After cooking the meatballs, skim off most of the fat, reserving the golden bits for flavor. Whisk in the flour and broth until smooth, and finish with a spoonful of sour cream or cream for a smooth texture. Is it too thick? A quick spray of milk will immediately restore it to its original state.
