salt and pepper (to season)
flour, for dredging
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

Meatballs: In a mixing bowl, add ground beef, ricotta cheese, an egg, sund-dried tomatoes, parmigiano cheese, salt and pepper.
Mix well until ingredients are evenly distributed. With your hands, shape the meatballs into the size of golf balls and pat them down so they can evenly cook.
Wine Sauce: In a large pot, heat oil and add garlic. Lightly dredge the meatballs in flour and add to the pan.
Add sun-dried tomatoes. Fry meatballs until golden on the outside. Add wine to deglaze the pan and let wine reduce by half and thicken up.
Let cook for an additional 5 minutes.
