Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, ricotta cheese, grated parmesan, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs of your desired size, typically about 2 inches in diameter.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches, cooking until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Simmer in Tomato Sauce

    Once the meatballs are browned, pour in your favorite tomato sauce, cover, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the meatballs hot, topped with extra parmesan cheese and a drizzle of garlic oil if desired.
