Print Recipe

These delicious ricotta and beef meatballs are a perfect blend of flavors and textures, simmered in a rich marinara sauce. Ideal for serving over pasta or enjoying on their own, they are sure to be a hit at your dinner table!

Ingredients

  • Ground beef
  • Ricotta cheese
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Egg
  • Garlic, minced
  • Fresh basil, chopped
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Marinara sauce
  • Pasta (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Allow the meatballs to absorb the flavors of the sauce and finish cooking through for 30 minutes.
  2. After 30 minutes, check the meatballs to ensure they are cooked through. They should be tender and flavorful.
  3. Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves, over cooked pasta if desired.

  • For a lighter version, you can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef.
