My son is a spaghetti and meatball fanatic so I chose this recipe to make for the night of his kindergarten graduation. I loved the simplicity of the marinara and the inclusion of fresh herbs, the boys loved the meatballs! My meatballs stayed together while cooking. I ended up simmering the sauce and meatballs for a little over 2 hours. Thanks Pan Nan! Zaar World Tour 4 - Whine and Cheese!

This was so good and very hearty and fresh tasting. Made with ground chicken breast and they held together very well. Great dish Nan! Thanks for sharing!

My MIL prepared this recipe for us and it was outstanding!! We did not have quite enough ground round so about 1/2 of hot italian sausage was added to the meatballs. The only problem my MIL had making the meatballs was the onions and peppers. They did not roll well when forming the balls and should be very finely chopped for an easier and quicker time. The meatballs did stay together while in the sauce and was a very, very good supper! Thank you so much PanNan, this will be a favorite for us!
