Categories     Beef

Yield 8 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb ground beef
4 oz whole milk ricotta
1 c panko
1 c parmigiano-reggiano
1 egg
2 garlic cloves
2 shallots
1 T olive oil
salt & pepper
2 c sauce

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients except the tomato sauce and the olive oil in a medium-size bowl and mix thoroughly by hand until they are completely combined and the mixture is uniformly firm. Directions: Coat your hands in olive oil, and form balls slightly bigger than a golf ball. Heat the tomato sauce in a saucepan over medium heat, then drop the meatballs into the sauce and add enough water to allow the sauce to reduce and simmer but not so much that the sauce is totally liquid. Cook for about 10 minutes on one side, then turn the meatballs over, add some more water, and cook for another 10 minutes, using a spoon to cover the meatballs with the sauce as they simmer. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with chopped parsley, salt and pepper, more Parmigianino- Reggiano, and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, of course!
