Ricotta Meatballs
"These Ricotta Meatballs are a cheesy, zesty take on an Italian American classic, and are ready in just 20 minutes. If you love meatballs, you’ll love this version. When making your own meatballs, it’s best to use a blend of meats. While you can make meatballs with any ground meat, beef, pork, and lamb work best because of their fat content. Chill your ingredients before cooking, and add moisture, such as eggs or breadcrumbs mixed with milk, to keep your meatballs from falling apart. My family loved these meatballs. They were flavorful and so tender. Plus, it’s easy to double the recipe and freeze these Italian-style leftover meatballs for later. All of the ingredients are in your kitchen or local grocery store. This ricotta cheese meatball recipe only takes 20 minutes to make. Serve these meatballs with spaghetti and marinara sauce, or in a sub. They are great for meal prep."
