You put the balls in raw and cook both together, never put them in the oven. It's awesome

The problem with cooking entirely in sauce is flavor development. In a liquid base, it's impossible for the meatballs to get any Maillard reaction (brown), which creates literally hundreds of flavor compounds.

Next time, try par cooking her meatballs like the link I posted, then finish in the sauce. I guarantee you'll thank me.
