Simo and Cicci Recommend
You can store the meatballs in the fridge tightly closed in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days.
If you want to enrich the flavor of the meatballs, try adding tuna to the ricotta and spinach mixture.
If you prefer ricotta and spinach meatballs without eggs, you can omit this ingredient.
You can use either fresh or frozen spinach.
You can use cow’s, sheep’s, or buffalo’s ricotta; or alternatively, lactose-free ricotta for those with lactose intolerance.
