My family and I liked the recipe and the meatballs were very tender. The recipe was also very easy to make.

My sister and I made these meatballs together, it was terrific fun and incredibly delicious!!! The only change we made was adding some fresh basil from the garden in addition to the parsley... Thank you INA - We love you.

I skipped the part about browning the meatballs and instead, doubled the sauce and gently cooked the meatballs in that until done. This is how my Italian grandmother made them but now I am using Ina's recipe instead of hers, but keeping the shortcut. Everything was perfect!!

I have learned more from her than any other chef on foodtv. This is the best recipe for meatballs, and I will be replacing my other ones. They are light and moist and delicious. I also added garlic to the meat.

The meatballs were "soft" and moist inside and very delicious. They past the "Italian Grandpa" test. Next time I make this recipe, I will increase the amount to make the sauce. The meatballs were plentiful, the sauce not so much and it was so good you need more to scoop up with some crusty bread.

I have made meatballs using the same ingredients for years..BUT the measurements are what make the difference. This was bar non the best meatballs I have ever eaten. As Ina mentioned in the show that she got the secret from the famous Rao's restaurant I used Rao's bottled marinara sauce and it was perfect! Thanks Ina!

On the TV show you added 3/4 cup of warm water. In the ingredient list on the Web it was omitted. Just thought you ought to know

This was very tasty! I only made half of the recipe, but I should have taken the advice of one of the previous reviews and only halved the meatballs but done the full portion of the sauce. Pretty simple to put together. The meatballs were very tender...will definitely make this one again

It tasted too weird for a spaghetti. The sauce was too overpowering.
