This tender pork n’ veal ricotta meatball recipe is baked in a delicious and light Pecorino cream sauce and topped with a bright mix of fava beans and chopped fresh herbs \u2014 super easy, extremely tasty and very pretty. <\/p>\n

Also, it’s a great dish for entertaining and feeding a crowd. Plate it for a fancier preso or serve rustic and family style. If you are looking for a Spring holiday dish, this would be lovely. <\/p>\n

Okay, I’m just going to say it because you know I’m 49 going on 13 \u2013 it’s really, really<\/em> hard for me to write a recipe about meatballs without thinking of a certain SNL skit. I sort of feel like an adolescent here trying not to laugh at every turn. But regardless of my truly prepubescent sense of humor, I still feel that this is an elegant dish, I just wish we could rename it? Any suggestions!?!<\/p>\n

\"How<\/figure>\n
\"Meatballs\"<\/figure>\n

The most important tip to making meatballs is to mix the ingredients just until incorporated evenly. Overworked meatballs tend to be tough. I also think it’s a great idea to saut\u00e9 a spoonful size portion of the meat mixture and taste the seasoning before forming into balls. <\/p>\n

If you can’t find fava beans fresh or frozen, you can sub edamame which I often find vacuum sealed and fresh in the produce area. If you can<\/em> find fava beans fresh, remember they need to be shelled and then individually popped out of their tough skins \u2013 blanch favas in salted boiling water for one minute and cool down immediately in an ice bath. Then pop each bean out of its skin before moving on with the recipe. (Also, little kids are really great at shelling and popping favas out of skin.)<\/p>\n

\"Ricotta<\/figure>\n

Use a nice ricotta. It’s easy enough to make at home but if buying I prefer Bellwether Farms sheep’s milk ricotta. It has a lovely light consistency without being too watery and it does not have any weird thickeners in it. Many store-bought ricotta products have some sort of gelatin, so read the label!<\/p>\n

I served the leftovers with a tricolore bitter greens salad with blue cheese crumble and a white balsamic vinaigrette the following day and is was still delicious! <\/p>\n
