My Husband and I loved this recipe. It tastes a bit like sweet and sour meatballs with a great garlic flavor. Thank you for the recipe.

This recipie was an absolute beauty :-D<br/><br/>i made everything the day before, put the meatballs in the sauce, and stashed in the fridge. i also made my meatballs larger than the recipie states (i did not get 68 meatballs, but that is how we like ours!). my very picky wife (she would eat the same thing everyday if i would let her) raved about this dish and rated it a 9.8 out of 10. <br/><br/>Thank you for this wonderful recipie, it will be a staple in my cookbook for years to come :-D
