This recipe was easy to follow and the meatballs turned out great! I added some chopped parsley to the sauce for extra flavor.

The meatballs were a bit dry but the sauce was great. I think I'll cook the meatballs for a shorter amount of time next time.

These poached meatballs were a delightful surprise! The lemon sauce was so flavorful and tangy, and the meatballs were perfectly cooked. I served them over rice and they were a hit with my family. I will definitely be making this dish again.
