This was very good! I loved the asparagus in the dish. I cut the basil to 1/4 cup because my family isn't too keen on it.

I could not find the Al Fresco chicken meatballs in my my grocery store, so I made my own with ground chicken. I followed the rest of the recipe as written, except I used zuchinni in place of the asparagus. Excellent summertime dinner!

Unfortunately, we were not a fan of the meatballs in this. It was another one where I took out the meatballs to save the meal. The linguini with roasted veggies was great, but we did not enjoy the meatballs with it. Sorry.

This was a very good and easy recipe. My husband was afraid it would be too spicy (he does not like tomato sauce in the evening) but he was surprised by the sweet roasted tomaoes and loved this dish.

KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF GOOD! We really enjoyed this recipe and look forward to having it often. My only substitution was using minced garlic for fresh as I didn't realize I was out of fresh garlic. Hubby kept telling me throughout dinner how much he was enjoying it. A definite keeper. The meatballs are fabulous!

This recipe is a keeper! The only major difference was I used steamed broccoli in place of roasted asparagus since I didn't have any on hand but still wanted to make this recipe for dinner. I added the steamed broccoli into the pan with the other roasted veggies. I used plain chicken meatballs since my grocer didn't carry the tomato and basil variety. I used a basil infused olive oil in this recipe. We really enjoyed it!

These meatballs are very good. I thought the overall taste of the dish was a bit bland for my taste. Love the veggies but the sauce (or lack of) left me feeling like something was missing.

This is a wonderful dish! I added some peppers, mushrooms, cilantro and oregano seasoning. That made for a very colorful and attractive dish which, combined with some ciabatta bread with parmesan made for a great dinner.

I really enjoyed this recipe. It was simple and delicious. I substituted green beans for the asparagus because I didn't have asparagus on hand. It was a good substitution. I will definitely be making this again!
