Even better.

In the pot you are going to cook the sauce in add some olive oil and brown the meataballs on all sides. Then add sauce ingredients and let cook. The sauce will absorb the flavor of the meat in it.

You can do this with any meat. Ground beef & pork, Italian sausage, crab legs (no browning needed), and my favorite: squid.
