- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the meatballs in olive oil. Set aside and allow them to cool slightly.
- To assemble: Uncover the pasta, spread the cheese mixture over the top third, place a line of meatballs and carefully roll the sushi mat over. Pull slightly to tighten the roll. Cut into slices and place upright like sushi.
