Serves 4
Ingredients:
1lb/450g extra lean ground beef
3 1/2 oz/100g fresh ricotta cheese
10 sun dried tomatoes finely chopped
10 sun dried tomatoes finely chopped
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Salt & Pepper to taste (I left the salt out completely)
Flour for dredging ( a couple of tablespoons)
Wine Sauce:
4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 large cloves garlic, minced
5 sun dried tomatoes, halved
Wine Sauce:
4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 large cloves garlic, minced
5 sun dried tomatoes, halved
1 cup white wine
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, egg, ricotta, sun dried tomates, Parmigiano and Salt and pepper. Mix well (David and I use our hands... you might prefer a spoon, but I love the feel of it all as it mixes together).
2. Make golf ball size patties and gently flatten them so they cook evenly. To help form a "beautiful crust" lightly dredge with flour shaking off any excess. Set aside.
3. In a large skillet over high heat, heat the olive oil and when it's very hot, add the meatballs. (David adds the garlic and sun dried tomatoes at the same time, but I wait until I flip the patties so that the garlic and tomatoes don't burn.) Once the meatballs are golden on both sides, add the wine and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and let it cook for five more minutes or until the sauce to about 1/3rd and forms a thick sauce.

The meatballs would be great served as a stew, with creamy mashed potatoes, or as I did with a simple pasta.
