I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe with tofu meatballs instead of beef meatballs. It turned out great! The bacon sauce was still delicious and the tofu meatballs were a good substitute for the beef meatballs. I will definitely be making this aga

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste, but overall it was still pretty good. The bacon sauce was nice and creamy, and the meatballs were cooked to perfection. I think next time I'll add some more spices to the sauce.

This dish was a bit too time-consuming for me, but it was worth it in the end. The bacon sauce was amazing and the meatballs were so tender and juicy. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll probably make the meatballs ahead of time to save ti

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste, but overall it was still pretty good. The bacon sauce was a bit too heavy for me, but the meatballs were delicious. I think next time I'll make a lighter sauce.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall it was still pretty good. The bacon sauce was nice and creamy, and the meatballs were cooked to perfection. I think next time I'll use less chili flakes in the sauce.

I'm not a big fan of bacon, so I made this recipe with pancetta instead. It turned out great! The pancetta added a nice salty and smoky flavor to the sauce. I will definitely be making this again with pancetta.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. The bacon sauce was lacking in flavor and the meatballs were a bit dry. I think next time I'll add some more spices to the sauce and brown the meatballs before adding them to the sauce.
