The meatballs were a bit dry. I think I'll add some more bread crumbs next time.

The sauce was a little bland. I added some extra garlic and Italian seasoning and it was much better.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I was skeptical about the bacon sauce, but it turned out to be amazing! The smokiness of the bacon really complemented the meatballs and pasta. This dish is definitely going into my regular rotation.

This recipe is a winner! The combination of bacon, meatballs, and bucatini is divine. I especially loved the addition of the white wine to the sauce. It gave it a nice depth of flavor.
