Meatballs

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ricotta cheese, bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Meatballs

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs, about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the meatballs for 25-30 minutes or until browned and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Pomodoro Sauce

    While the meatballs are baking, prepare the pomodoro sauce by simmering canned tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, salt, and basil in a pot for about 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the meatballs are cooked, serve them in a bowl topped with the pomodoro sauce and a dollop of ricotta cheese.
