I followed the recipe exactly, but my meatballs turned out dry and bland. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These meatballs were amazing! I used ground turkey instead of beef, and they were still so flavorful and juicy.

These meatballs were delicious, but they were a lot of work to make. I'm not sure if I would make them again unless I had a lot of time on my hands.

I loved the flavor of these meatballs, but they were a bit too greasy for my liking. I might try baking them next time instead of frying them.

These meatballs were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still good. I would recommend using less red pepper flakes next time.

I've tried many meatball recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The meatballs are incredibly moist and tender, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. I will definitely be making this recipe again and again.
