Mix all meatball ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Form into small balls (about the size of a walnut). Set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables:

Cook the Meatballs:
Add the meatballs to the pan and brown them on all sides for about 5–6 minutes.
Add the Sauce:
Stir in the diced tomatoes (and tomato paste if using). Simmer on low for 10–15 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and meatballs to cook through.
