Meatballs are delicious, the sauce was a bit thin but very tasty. I will make it again!

Good afternoon! You can substitute plain yogurt, ricotta cheese, marscapone cheese, or heavy cream. Hope this was helpful. :)

I'm sorry, could you be referring to Mascarpone, rather than Marscapone? Marscapone doesn't exist. I always wonder why people call Mascarpone, Marscapone. Truly it is a simple mistake, but it is a mistake that happens way too often.
