RICOTTA POLPETTE (MEATLESS MEATBALLS)

This recipe that originates in Calabria, Italy. The “meatballs” or made with ricotta cheese in place of meat and are part of the Italian “Cucina Povera” or poor kitchen…the food of the peasants. Those peasants had the right idea! I first had this dish amost 20 years ago in the kitchen of Nonna De Laurentiis at Casina Rossa in Abruzzo, Italy. It’s only fitting to serve these balls of savory goodness with one of Casina Rossa’s delicious sauces
Makes about 30 generous-sized meatballs.
