I had meatballs in the freezer so I did not follow this meatball recipe but I followed the rest of the recipe. I used all beef broth instead of broth and water. I also used petite diced tomatoes as that is all I had. I then used 3/4 teaspoon of italian seasoning instead of rosemary and basil. I also added a bit more spaghetti then what was called for. We all enjoyed this as it was something different. This heated up nicely the next day for lunch also.

I love to try new recipes and mainly look for ones that are new and different, such as a twist on an old favorite or something no one's ever thought of! I also enjoy writing in my spare time. I live in Northeast Ohio where the weather isn't the greatest, humid in the summer and cold winters- but it has been nice growing up by the lake! I own two wonderful cats who can be quite a handful at times, but my fiancee and I couldn't live without them!
