I can't believe it's Taste of Home Tuesday again already! Things have been crazy here- we've bought a house and the moving frenzy has begun. I've got about half the kitchen packed, which has made meal planning and cooking a fun challenge. I've been relying heavily on old standbys and new dishes from the Simple & Delicious cookbook.
That's where I found this easy recipe. I always make too many meatballs for spaghetti night, and I freeze them right in the sauce for quick subs, etc. I let it defrost, removed the meatballs from the sauce and then continued with the recipe.
I used part skim ricotta because it's what I had on hand. I warmed the sauce in small ramekins for dipping. These were a big hit here, even with my son who isn't a huge meatball fan. They'll make great game day snacks too. Thanks to Lauren W for sharing the recipe!
