Meatballs

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the Wagyu beef, Bellwether ricotta, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place the formed meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the meatballs for about 20 minutes or until they are cooked through and browned on the outside.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Pomodoro Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add crushed tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until thickened.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the meatballs topped with the pomodoro sauce and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
