These meatballs were alright--probably more like 3.5 stars. They worked well when serving someone on a dairy-free diet, but they were a little bland, even with the full 4 cloves of garlic. I'd definitely recommend adding more seasonings. I cooked the onion and garlic until they were just softened, but I'm sure raw would be fine if you're in a hurry. I prepared them the night before and kept them in the refrigerator, which turned out to be good because they were a little loose at first; the chill time seemed to make them hold together better.
