I have wanted to make this ever since I saw the recipe in the magazine at a friends house. I didn't have all the stuff ( well really not much of the stuff! to make this. I substituted 8 soda crackers for the bread (its all I had and used shredded cheddar instead of ricotta, because thats what I had. I used dry herbs, as that is what I had. I did put in the parmesan! Anyway, I put them in a glass pan and broiled them about 10 minutes on each side, then cooked them the rest of the way in sauce on the stove top. I just used a jar of sauce, as that's what I had. My husband loved them! Will make this again and try to use the "real" stuff!

I love this recipe! I used a can of crushed tomatoes instead of crushing them by hand myself. With everything else, I followed the recipe pretty much exactly. I found that it took a bit longer for the sauce to thicken up and it did take more like 15 minutes to cook small meatballs (rather than 6. I used the cubed whole wheat bread and I thought it added a lot of texture to the meatballs - delish! Oh - I used a little bit of grated cheddar instead of parmesan in the meatballs because I didn't have any parm. Still turned out awesome. Next time I will use the parmesan though and the parmesan rind in the sauce - I have a feeling it will be even better! It's easy and definitely a good weeknight meal. For my family of three - it even leaves enough for left overs!

Great recipe!! I am not a big fan of parsley, so I substituted fresh chopped spinach. I also used bread crumbs instead of chopped bread.I made the small meatball version and it took a lot longer than 6 minutes to cook (more like 15 minutes, but they still came out really good. This recipe is a keeper.

This was delicious!! I also used bread crumbs instead of sliced bread and added ~ 2 Tbsp tomato paste toward the end to thicken the sauce. I had never made spaghetti and meatballs before but this is definitely going to be part of our regular dinner rotation.

I became a little concerned when the sauce did not thicken and I did not want to boil my meatballs. However, I vowed to follow the recipe exactly and it came out good. I was very pleased with the flavor, although I prefer a thicker sauce. It was a little thin for my taste and I thickened it up with a little tomato paste. Very good recipe, I will make again, however, I will fry my meatballs and make a thicker sauce.

Saw the cover photo of Jan/Feb issue and had to make this dish. I'm a sucker for spaghetti and meatballs and was wanting a healthy alternative; my husband and have begun closing watching what we eat. The turkey meatballs are so tasty. You don't even notice that it isn't ground beef. Didn't have any bread at home, so I substituted a Tbl of Italian breadcrumbs. This is a keeper for us!
