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. :)

Happy Monday! The recipe calls for 1/4 cup of plain bread crumbs and has been updated to reflect that. Thank you for letting us know!

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.

Hi Chazz, thanks for pointing out that typo to me. I'll keep an eye out in the future to make sure I spell it correctly. :) Have a great week!
