Slice the wrapped meatballs into four finger-thick obliques. Line a baking tray with baking paper and place the couples.

Place the meatballs on a round serving plate, leaving the middle empty. Spread the remaining tomato sauce on them.
Put yogurt in the middle of the plate and garnish with finely chopped parsley. Serve hot without waiting. Enjoy your meal!
