    Love this recipe. Can't understand why people would substitute things like Newman's own vodka sauce. The whole point of the recipe is that it is a healthier alternative to traditional spaghetti with tons of cheese and fat.

    meatballs are one of my fave dishes, especially coupled w/spaghetti's!! this was a delish recipe and so so easy and quick to prepare. My sauce wasn't as runny as some of the others described because I added only 1 cup of water. Could probably use less next time though. I didn't use the parmesan grind and it was still tasty.

    The meatballs were yummy yummy yummy! I used Romano cheese instead of parmesan and since I didn't have stale bread, I just lightly toasted a slice of whole wheat bread. Not sure if that did anything to the recipe, but the meatballs were fine... very juicy and tender and tasty!

    Overall, this was a fun recipe to make especially the part where you crush the tomatos with your hands! Oh, and I agree that the aroma from all the fresh herbs was amazing! I felt like a real cook. :

    Not ba for a weeknigght meal - but it did take longer than estimated. The meatballs were very good - much better than I expected turkey meatballs to be. The sauce wasn't bad, but needed more herbs and spices. I made it exactly according the recipe - but we added salt & pepper at the table (something I rarely do and felt it could have used some oregano and other Italian seasonings. One additional step - I did brown the meatballs before I put them in the sauce.

    As written, yes the sauce is probably really runny, that's why I'm only offering up four stars. Every time I've made this, I get rave reviews. It smells incredible and those fresh herbs really aim to impress. The way to get a nice, thick sauce is to get the sauce going first, then work on the meatballs. After you have the meatballs in the sauce to cook, put the pasta water on to boil. Once the pasta is finished, the sauce will be nice and thick... maybe even so much so that you have to thin it with a bit of the pasta water.

    I was very disappointed with this recipe. It was very runny, might as well have been soup..I followed the recipe exactly as written, except I added a pinch of sugar to cut down some acidity from the tomatoes (which I was surprised wasn't already part of the recipe. I give one star because the meatballs turned out ok.

    I saw this recipe on the cover at the supermarket, and couldn't wait to get my issue to make it myself. I loved it, my family loved it. This recipe has been added to my " favorites menu"

    HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE!!!! Did I mention how bad this was? Turkey might be good in somethings, but definitely doesn't belong in spaghetti, lasagna or any Italian dishes. That disgusting taste will be indelibly noted in my mind. To the rest of the world, you can have my share. Never again!
