We liked these meatballs. They certainly have a nice lemony twist to them. We used the baking method, which was really low hassle. We served them with fettucine noodles mixed with butter, garlic and olive oil. I would try to eat them on the day you make them as they were a little dry upon reheating the next day for lunch. Thanks, Parsley!
