Remove the sauce from the heat and then pour the sauce evenly on the top of meatballs and potato wedges.

Place the clay pots into the oven tray and cook for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, remove the oven tray out add the grated mozzarella cheese on top of each clay pot, and cook additional 5 more minutes.
