The meatballs were a bit dense, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend using a lighter meat, such as ground chicken or turkey, next time.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. The meatballs were cooked perfectly and the spinach sauce was creamy and flavorful. I would recommend serving this dish with a side salad to help cut through the richness.
