To Die for Spaghetti and Meatballs-Moms Go to Weeknight Dinner!!

The meatballs, which is essentially what this recipe is, were truly delicious, even though I wasn't able to follow the recipe to the letter. I didn't have fresh herbs, so I used a lesser amount of dried, cutting the basil and oregano down to a tablespoon each, and adding some dried thyme and savery in place of the fresh parsley. I needed to use up some hot Italian sausage, so I used a pound of the sausage and half a pound of ground beef to make the meatballs. I followed the rest of the recipe to the letter. I think the recipe calls for too much breadcrumbs, so next time I'll start with a half cup and add more as I need them. And, I'll be using real, fresh Parmesan next time, not the canned dehydrated stuff, which was all I had. I wasn't able to find the particular brand of spaghetti sauce you mentioned, so went with traditional Prego, which soehow, just didn't work for me. I also didn't care for combining the sauce, meatballs, and pasta all together before serving, so next time, I'll have each of those components seperate and let diners make up their own plates. I think this is a good recipe and I intend to hang on to it, but I also plan to tweak it a bit to make it even better. When I do, I'll submit a new review an let you know if my changes worked for me. I'm considering making my own sauce from canned tomatoes, but that would add some extra prep work, so will have to decide how to tackle that issue as well. Anyway, thanks for sharing.
