Pork & Vegetable Meatballs with a Creamy Cashew Sauce

jump to recipe

These meatballs have vegetables hidden in them. I used a yellow squash but zucchini would also work. The meatballs by themselves are delicious but the sauce takes this dish to a different level. I could drink the sauce, it is that good.
