Ricotta Meatballs

Pin It

The thing I love about meatballs is that you can put anything in them and they still taste great.  Well, almost anything...........

Italians love their meatballs!  This recipe is a variation of my original meatball recipe.  Here are the ingredients:

  • 1 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • Olive oil, 1/4 cup
  • Shallots - 1 large shallot, minced
  • Garlic - 4 cloves minced
  • Parmesan Cheese - 1 cup shredded
  • Parsely - chopped, 1/2 cup
  • Basil - chopped, 1/4 cup
  • Ground Beef - 1 pound
  • Italian sausage, ground, 1/2 pound
  • 1 egg
  • Ricotta cheese - 1 cup
  • Salt
  • Pepper 
 Mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl.  Roll the meatballs to the size you want.


Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.

Let the meatballs finish cooking in your sauce.  Here is a great recipe for marinara sauce.  If you aren't planning on serving these with sauce, finish cooking them in the oven.

Mangia!
