"This was a tasty, healthy, savory, satisfying dish!! Due to leftovers in my fridge, I added chopped Cremini mushrooms, a shallot, fresh Italan , and a few tablespoons of jarred pasta sauce to the tomato sauce part of the dish. Once I added the fresh cherry tomatoes, I let the sauce simmer for 15 minutes. The final result with the zucchini pappare""

"I was so excited to make this because all the reviews sounded awesome. But when I made this exactly according to the directions - it was horrible. I usually love an Asian riff on a classic dish and I can see where it could have had potential, but it just did not work for myself or any of my guests. If you do make it, pay attention to the size of the meatballs (some of mine were more the "mini" size and it didn't work for them, and also make sure you're frier is up to speed. (Some of my meatballs were better than other and I think when I cooked them slightly too long or the oil was too hot the consequences were bad.) Also, really think about the sauce since we all thought it had way, way, way too much hoisin to mayo ratio. Sorry Food Network - usually your stuff is a winner.
