"I made the meatballs and they were delicious. Just the recipe I needed. Simple meatballs with no egg. I didn't have any Parmesan so I used some mild cheddar. Very good and probably would be much better with the Parm. Simple is often the best and this recipe makes excellent meatballs."

"I just made the meatballs, and not the sauce -- but the eggless meatballs were great! I was worried I wouldn't be able to make dinner as planned because I was out of eggs, so this recipe saved me. VERY yummy, could not tell the difference."

"After searching the web for an eggless meatball recipe -- had most of the other ingredients in the house, but no eggs and had promised my daughter "Mommy's Meatballs" for dinner -- I finally found this. It was fantastic! Since I'm based in the UK, I had to make a few substitutions in the sauce: 2 cans of chopped tomatoes in juice, 1 can of water, and about 100g of double-concentrated tomato puree - couldn't use paste, as it's very difficult to get here). Also, cut back the sugar a bit and added a dash of worchestershire sauce, along with some sauteed onions and garlic. Overall, a terrific meal."
