How to make Mmmeatballs.

I love the binding agent in this recipe. Ricotta cheese instead of eggs or bread crumbs.  Enjoy!!

Mix all until combined. Roll into balls (size is your preference). I use a technique where I throw the ball hard from hand to hand, removing all air pockets, then shape.

Fry in about a 1/2 inch of EVOO until all sides are browned.

Add to your favorite sauce and simmer for at least an hour, and up to 3 hours.

  I tried this and served with my Swedish meatball sauce over egg noodles and I got compliments on my savory meatballs!
