Omg, this was fantastic, delicious, yummy. I did not make the sauce cause I can't do tomatoes. I made the meatballs only. I did not include chili powder or red pepper flakes but did use a little extra garlic. I used dried parsley because it's all I had. We made the meatballs a little big, so we ended up having to toss them in the microwave to finish cooking for about 3 minutes. But oh wow, are these delicious.
