Ingredients
- 1 small white onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons oregano
- 3/4 pound ground pork
- 3/4 pound ground beef
- 2 cups Dragone® Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- Canola oil for frying 1 (28-ounce) jar marinara sauce
- 1 cup water
Directions
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until translucent, about 1 minute. Then, transfer the onion mixture to a large mixing bowl.
Add the ground pork, ground beef, Dragone® Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese, oregano, egg, parsley, salt and pepper and combine with the onion mixture. Add the breadcrumbs and continue to mix until thoroughly blended.
Take approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into a meatball. Continue shaping with the remaining mixture and transfer them to a platter.
Heat the oil again in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Return the meatballs to the skillet. Pour the marinara sauce and water over the meatballs. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
