I had some leftover Ricotta Cheese, so I decided to use it in meatballs. These are very tender and flavorful.

Mix in ground beef until mixture comes together. Do not over mix. Keep mixture cool until ready to cook.

Heat marinara sauce to a low simmer in stock pot. Gently add meatballs and cover. Simmer meatballs for 20 minutes. Gently flip meatballs over and simmer another 10 minutes. Shake pot around every 5 minutes or so to keep anything from sticking.
