Meatballs over rice but I suggest spaghetti instead!

Consensus

Next time I will use a different cheese, maybe gruyere or fontina. The blue cheese was too strong. Ian and I ate it with rice and soy sauce but it was too dry and we didn’t want to add too much soy sauce.  Ian suggested eating it with spaghetti next time.
