Traca, what kind of bread crumbs did you use? Fresh or dried or panko or... ?

I love these! First made them from the magazine, texture/taste is excellent!

Not Trace, but I've used both fresh and storebought bc in this, both are good.

I used dried breadcrumbs and they were plenty moist.

Interesting that you posted this...

...I was thinking of trying something different for meatballs, which is to use almond flour in place of bread crumbs. I think I'll give it a try with your recipe (the ricotta seems perfect!)

if I am brave enough to go for it, I'll report back (kitchen is non-existent, so any cooking requires a lot of hyperventilation)

I think even pulverized almonds would be a good substitute.

Indeed.... (a little more inside)

it so happens that they had almond flour for sale here with great price, so I bought two bags

Not sure I'll try this today, the cooking situation is quite dreadful at the moment... we shall see smileys/wink.gif

Sally....

I was SO impressed with how easily this dish came together. You could make it in a dorm room with a toaster oven...or a remodel. smileys/smile.gif

Notice there's no onion or garlic to chop? Cracking eggs takes the most effort! The rest...just dump in a bowl and stir.
