I thought the rice balls were a bit bland. I added some extra spices and they were much better.

These rice balls were a little too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time.

I've tried many Italian sausage rice ball recipes, but this one is by far the best. The rice balls are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the marinara sauce is flavorful and tangy.
