This dish was just okay. The meatballs were a bit dry, and the tomato sauce was a bit bland. I would not make this again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this dish did not turn out well for me. The meatballs were dry and crumbly, and the tomato sauce was too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was a complete disaster. The meatballs were tough and overcooked, and the tomato sauce was burnt. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.
