Pan-Fry the Meatballs
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked through. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning.

Serve with Ricotta
Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the skillet and place them on a serving platter. Top each meatball with a generous dollop of warm ricotta cheese. Serve immediately.
