My guests really like this recipe and want to know why it's so different from other meatball dishes they've had. I tell them it's the spices I use. I usually serve this as a main dish for lunch. I created this recipe myself "from scratch".

This was the worst meatball recipe I've ever tried! The meatballs were dry and tasteless, and the sauce was bland and watery.

I'm not a big fan of dill, so I used parsley instead. The meatballs were still delicious and the sauce was very flavorful.
