Delicious! I made them exactly as stated. The perfect recipe for a party. I couldn't get them on the plate fast enough..,my guests were eating them right out of the pan! They were literally gone in 5 minutes! They are also very easily made ahead of time and then warmed up in the sauce when they are ready to serve.

This recipe for meatballs is amazing! I made it for just my husband and I so ended up halving all of the ingredients in the recipe since I only wanted to make 25 meatballs instead of 50. It tasted just wonderful! We even have leftovers for tomorrow night. I also wanted to point out a few adjustments I had to make. I didnt have an onion or garlic on hand (my husband doesn't like those ingredients anyway, so I didn't use them. I didn't have thyme either, but didn't notice it was missing because the meatballs came out great anyway! I also didn't use 1 slice of bacon but added bacon bits. The flavor of the bacon bits added taste to the meatballs and removed the extra step of having to cook one slice of bacon for the recipe. I really liked these minor adjustments. These will make a great appetizers that everyone will love. My husband loved them - and we had them for dinner with low carb pasta. Great recipe that I highly recommend!

Made these for a party and they were amazing. The only change I made was I used 1lb of lamb, 1lb or pork and 1lb of turkey. I then double the other ingredients. These were delish!

Update: Made these for the 2nd time for another party and they were a huge hit again. Everyone says these are the best meatballs they have ever had. Made them the same way as above.

These are fabulous and perfect for a party appetizer. They were a huge hit and were gone in a flash. Don't hesitate - it is really worth it.

These are the best meatballs ever! Juicy, tender, full of flavor. You can taste the smokey bacon, the fruity worcestershire sauce and thyme, the tangy ricotta and the nutty pecorino. It's just perfect. I don't think I need to change my meatball receipt anymore, this is it. I can eat all of them even without any sauce!

I made these meatballs for my graduation party as an appetizer. They went over really well. I did tweak the recipe slightly. I used 1.25 lbs each ground lamb, turkey, and beef and doubled the recipe. The lamb gave them a great flavor. The ricotta cheese kept them so moist! Nice part of the recipe is you can make it way ahead of time. I waited to cook them until right before but next time I will cook them sooner and keep them warm in the sauce (won't dry out that way. Make sure when you cook them in the pan you use a Teflon pan b/c even with oil in regular pan they will stick! Tasted great and will make again!!

I made these meatballs for a party and every loved them. I ended up serving them in a large bowl with toothpicks on the side, so I didn't use the basil. I will serve them this way next time, but will add the basil before cooking. If you prepare them the night before, they only take a few minutes to cook the next day.

I am not a meatball lover, my husband is....
Had hamburger meat to cook dinner with and I gave it a try..... they were delicious!! So tasty. Great flavor, must be the fresh parsley and the fresh basil as the garnish (don't leave that out!.
I fried them in 1/3 of a cup of the extra virgin olive oil instead of a cup and it worked out great.
Great recipe! A+
