    Pretty tasty! My 5 year old son and his friends left nothing on their plate.
    Six of the mini chicken meatballs did not fit my skillet so I froze them uncooked. Looking forward to making myself a single serving one day :

    I could have used more tomatoes, i like my pasta with lost of veggies.
    Also, for me the prep time was much longer than indicated. It takes time to form that many mini meatballs!

    Great dish! Meatballs were the best part, and we all loved that the cheese and the meatballs fit into the pasta! The only drawback was the tomatoes, next time I will add a LOT more, and possibly Roma. The only change I made was that I added garlic to the meatballs. Both my kids loved it and that means something! This is the second time in 2 weeks that I have made it--by request!

    I loved this recipe and will definitely make it again. My one picky kid won't eat it because he hates cheese but everyone else really enjoyed it. I did saute some onions and garlic for the meatballs but that's the only change I made. Really good and will make again soon.

    Yummm!! Prep and cooking time was great. It was filling and not too heavy. The flavors were delicious and I will definitely make it again!

    My kids loved the meatballs. They are a keeper. I recommend using shredded mozzarella or a four-cheese Italian mix. As other reviewers have said, the fresh bocconcini mozzarella halved just comes out as blobs. I even cut it into smaller pieces, and it sill came out as blobs of stringy cheese. My kids love cheese, but their reaction was "Yuck, just give me more meatballs and pasta--no cheese, please!"

    I gave 5 stars for the meatballs , everyone loves them!! I've made them several times and didn't bother with the sauce, we ate them as soon a they were cooked! I am generous with the cheese and also added garlic - about 2-3 large cloves through a garlic press. The "sauce" isn't so great, I tried adding fresh spinach - it was pretty but I will try putting the meatballs in a different sauce ...want something thicker
    Now in 2013 I continue to make these meatballs frequently, I usually buy ground chicken and have added chicken breast from the food processor when I needed more for a bigger batch, I've used both plain bread crumbs or panko. I've tried it with turkey but still like chicken the best.

    I just really love this recipe. It is so easy and so wonderful. The meatballs came out perfect, tender, juicy, moist, and delicious. It was a definite family pleaser, man too. This will be in my rotation.

    This recipe takes a little time but completely worth it. I followed the recipe to the letter. It's great, I didn't feel the need to change anything. My family asks me to make this. winner winner!

    Loved the mini chicken meatballs, they were amazing! I am going to make more and freeze them for my hubby for lunches! He loved them. Next time I would use a different pasta, but that is just my personal preference. Very kid friendly.
