In reply to Susan Saglibene. Thank you so much, Susan! That means so much to hear. I love that you’ve made the Chicken Piccata Meatballs three times already, and serving them with mashed potatoes sounds absolutely delicious. I’m so glad this recipe has become one you come back to!

In reply to Gigi. Thank you so much for making it! And yes — orecchiette definitely has a tendency to stack together like little poker chips sometimes. That’s one of the quirks of that pasta shape. I’ve found it helps to use plenty of salted water, stir it well during the first couple minutes of cooking, and toss it with the sauce right away after draining with a little reserved pasta water. So glad you still enjoyed it! ~Jenn

I made it without the chicken. Easy and yummy 😋. I may use a different pasta shape next time as the orecchiette stacks itself like poker chips. 😜

I made this for Sunday dinner I wanted a recipe that wouldn’t keep in the kitchen for hours (wanted to enjoy the good weather) this recipe was perfect looked and tasted like it took extra time but didn’t. Great flavor! So glad I found this website with such wonderful recipes with ingredients you can find easily in the grocery stores.

This is the third time I made the Chicken Piccata Meatballs. I have served with mashed potatoes, and it is an excellent dinner that tastes and looks like it took much longer. This is one recipe I will go back to for dinner or even an appetizer for company.
Thank you for all your recipes that I can make and taste amazing.

In reply to MAEVE BUCKLEY. Maeve, thank you so much for your thoughtful comment, and I’m sorry for the delayed reply. I’m so glad you enjoyed the cannoli filling recipe and that it brought back happy memories. I do have a cannoli shell recipe from the cooking school we attended in Sicily, and I’d be happy to email it to you. We made it there, but I haven’t personally tested it again at home yet. I’ll send it your way soon! ~Jenn

In reply to anthony. Anthony, thank you so much for catching that. You’re right — there was a timing typo in the recipe, and I’ll be correcting it. I’m sorry I missed this before Thursday, but I really appreciate you pointing it out and hope you enjoyed the meatloaf! ~Jenn
