LEFTOVERS IMPROVE!! Delicious!! I would almost say to prepare these one day, and eat them the next - they were THAT good. I stored them overnight in a container with the sauce covering the meatballs, and that gave everything a chance to blend and all the flavors to mingle and marry. I cannot stress how delicious these were - my husband is not a big tofu person and he didn't know they weren't beef until I told him. Bravo!

Since the bf became a vegetarian not too long ago; I am finding that I eat a little less meat than before and I am experimenting more with veggie recipes. Last night I made this recipe and darned if it was not just as fabulous as the meat version (or pretty close). I was amazed, impressed and satisfied - which is a very, very good combination for me -)!!!!!! Will definitely be adding to the "make again" category!
