Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and with a touch of olive oil, lightly grease a baking sheet.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, ricotta, parmesan, parsley, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and oregano. It's best to go in with your hands, now washed and ringless, to mix, like Mom used to do.
3. Once the mixture is well mixed, gently roll it into balls, each the size of a golf ball, and place on the greased baking sheet.
4. Place the meatballs in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until they begin to brown and are cooked through.
5. Heat the tomato sauce in a saucepan and, once the meatballs are cooked, bathe them in the sauce.
6. Serve immediately, with any of the aforementioned accompaniments and a pinch of love.
Variations and Tips
If you're feeling adventurous, swap out the parsley for basil or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a special touch. For those who must avoid gluten, almond flour can substitute breadcrumbs, although you may want to add a little more to get the right consistency. And remember, the secret ingredient to any dish is a pinch of patience and a pinch of memories – serve generously.
