Notes

Try to use fairly firm ricotta, either cow or sheep, depending on your taste. If using packaged ricotta, drain off any excess whey first.

The meatballs can also be cooked directly in the sauce, but you must be very careful when turning them as they could break.

You can add herbs of your choice to the mixture, such as oregano or thyme. You can replace parmesan with pecorino.

In season, you can make the sauce with fresh tomatoes, peeled and seeded.
