    Tasty and easy to do midweek. Used angus beef meatballs and added chopped red chilli and some mushrooms with the garlic and rosemary. Very Good. Will be cooking this again soon.

    Used 'Finest Italian' beef meatballs as no lamb ones to be had in Tesco. It was OK, but wouldn't rush to make again - too much onion for our taste really.

    found some minted lamb meatballs in sainsburys, was somewhat apprehensive using them but my other half had requested to try this recipe. only used 3 onions, and it was still *loads*. very quick and easy to make and reheated well, was quite tasty, other half has asked for it again. if you like this sort of food, you'll probably like this dish.

    I like this meatball dishes, it is so easy to be prepared and delicious! If you add rosemary & thymes, it tastes even better. One last thing is top the meatball with a lot of melted cheese� yummy.I prepare the dish by using my new purchased <a href="http://www.bakingfrenzy.com/8-inch-non-stick-square-cake-tin-p-495.html"> non stick square tin</a>. It makes clean up a breeze.

    Fantastic and quick meal to make. I added a touch of sugar to the tomato sauce and we all scoffed the lot quite happily. It's already on the menu list to make again next week!
