  1. I loved the spinach in the meatballs, fantastic idea, and I shall make them again. However I felt that the stew was a big mish-mash of different flavours that didn't go together that well.
     
  2. I can't wait to try this!! It sounds yummy!!!
     
  3. I loved this recipe! I added 2 cloves of minced garlic to the meatball mixture. I also added 2 extra cups of beef broth to make it more like a soup. I simmered the browned meatballs in the broth with the carrots, celery and onions for 45 minutes to a hour. I cooked the tortellini and added them just befors serving. This is a keeper!
