    We thought the sauce was excellent. I only used 1/2 tsp of crushed red because not all family members enjoy heat. It was perfect even for me & I like a heat. No pepper but read here that the pepper used was sweet so I used some roasted ripe bell pepper I had in the freezer. Used a combo of fresh basil & oregano because that was what I could harvest.

    Made more substitutions with the meatballs which also turned out excellent. Used beef & turkey & instead of pork used some bulk hot(not veryItalian sausage. I also cooked some minced onion with the garlic & used panko. For a week day meal & 1 cook, instead of frying the meatballs I heavily coated a sheet pan with evoo & rolling the meatballs around a bit to coat. Then into the upper part of a 450 oven to brown, checking occasionally & rolling until a nice crust formed. Much easier than frying & less of a mess, too.

    Bobby's times are off a home kitchen. It took over 20 min to bring the sauce to a simmer.

    Pretty standard way to make meatballs, very good. i used a pound a pork and half pound for the other 2 ingredients. Only complaint, for the sauce, NO NEED TO USE TOMATO PASTE!!! ruins the sauce, Use the right cans of tomato's, add a lil water to the cans to clean the cans, put in the sauce, and simmer, it will thicken on its own. Paste is way to overpowering and in Italy and my parents from Italy, frown upon paste. Did not use the peppers, i use italian green peppers if i use any at all. Also used a lil more cheese with meatballs, Enjoy.

    I tried this recipe last night and it took 2 hours for me and my teenage daughter to prepare this meal. The only thing I changed was to use whole wheat spaghetti noodles (which turned out great. It was a tasty dish that my whole family enjoyed, but its not worth all of the time/effort in my opinion. Next time, I'll just make a simple spaghetti with meat sauce and be done with it.

    I've had lots of home made meatballs but these are by far the best I have ever had at home or in a restaurant. My kids came back for seconds and thirds and my husband had two extremely large servings. This is our new family meatball recipe. Thank you Bobby Flay!!!

    Absolutely delicious, moist, perfect meatballs! One word of caution though: do not use the entire cup of olive oil when frying your meatballs. It is way more than necessary. I only used 1/2 cup and could have even cut down more than that. Be careful when browning them too because it is very easy to get burned with that hot oil
