These meatballs were a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices to the meatball mixture.

These meatballs were a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend adding more moisture to the meatballs, such as bread crumbs or milk.

This recipe was easy to follow and the meatballs turned out great. I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still very flavorful.
