Love this recipe! I've made it quite a few times and it never disappoints. I made a few minor modifications. I use diced tomatoes instead of the cherry tomatoes. For the meatballs I use only one egg and Italian seasoned bread crumbs along with extra black pepper, fresh minced garlic, and a dash of Cayenne. If I can't find bocconcini I cube fresh Mozzarella.

These meatballs are SO flavorful! I just used cubed fresh mozzerella instead of the balls, and a small pasta because I couldn't find the specific ingredients. My whole family loved this!

This is a tasty dish. I agree with S-Park that more seasoning is needed. I also did something that is a "no no" in Food Networkland. I added tomatoe sauce. The dish smells good but I thought red sauce would give it that true italian look! Shame on me but I could not resist. Now the biggest issue I had was finding Orecchiette pasta nor the type of mozzarella cheese mentioned. Neither were not in the local Publix where I shop in Atlanta. I had to use substitutes unfortunately. The ground chicken meatballs were delicious or as some would say DA BOMB! I did like how the mozzarella I used melted. I added more for the leftovers tonite. Next time I make this receipe, I may need to go to a Whole Foods store. My prep time was much longer than indicated. I was waiting on those darn good meatballs to cook.

For adults, more seasoning is a must, and as others have mentioned, at the very least a grated garlic clove or two in the meatballs is a good suggestion. Even as written, for kids, I found there to be too much liquid. Definitely cut back on the chicken stock. The mozzarella disappeared in the abundance of liquid from the stock and tomatoes. Strictly for kids it's okay -- with less stock -- but for others you'd likely find better pasta recipes to prepare. Not sure I'm interested in re-visiting this one, even with the spices kicked up a notch.

This recipe is all prep time. It's easier and less overwhelmig if you prep everything ahead of time and set it all aside. The tomatoes could have simmered a little longer in the stock/meatball mixture, though perhaps then the meatballs would have gotten overdone? The little mozzarella balls are a must, they melt and are gooey sticky after a few minutes. Basil is a must, as well. It seemed like there was more liquid than needed, but it'll probably thicken up for the 2nd serving the next day.
