The secret to delicious meatballs is ricotta cheese! These meatballs are packed with Italian flavors such as fresh basil, oregano, and Pecorino Romano cheese. They're golden and crisp on the outside, and perfectly moist on the inside. Serve with your favorite pasta or top with your favorite tomato sauce.
