Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 cups marinara sauce

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, egg, and milk. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

2. Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the meatballs for about 20-25 minutes or until they are cooked through and browned on the outside.

4. While the meatballs are baking, heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until heated through.

5. Once the meatballs are done, transfer them to the saucepan with the marinara sauce. Gently stir to coat the meatballs in the sauce.

6. Serve the ricotta meatballs hot, garnished with additional grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley if desired. They pair perfectly with pasta, crusty bread, or even on their own!

Tips:

  • For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meatball mixture.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, you can pulse the breadcrumbs in a food processor before adding them to the meatball mixture.
  • Make sure not to overmix the ingredients as it can result in tougher meatballs. Mix until just combined.
  • If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought marinara sauce instead of making it from scratch.

Now that you know the secret to creating these delectable ricotta meatballs, it’s time to put your culinary skills to the test! Gather the ingredients, follow the steps, and get ready to enjoy a taste of Italy in the comfort of your own home. Bon appétit!
