For the meatballs:

1 Pound Sweet or Hot Italian Sausage (We use sweet)

1 Pound Ground Beef

1/3 Cup Almond Flour

2 Eggs

1 Tbsp Dried Parsley

1 Tsp Lite Salt

1/4 Tsp Red Pepper Flakes

1/2 Tsp Onion Powder

1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder

1/4 Tsp Dried Oregano

1/4 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

Everything else:

2 Cups Garlic Basil Marinara (Follow link for recipe)

1 1/2 Cups Whole Milk Mozzarella Cheese

1 Cup Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. To start making the meatballs combine all the ingredients on the meatballs list in a bowl and mix well. Form the meat into approximately 32 one ounce meatballs. (They’ll be about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.) Put the meatballs on a foil (or you can use a silpat ) lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.

Once the meatballs are cooked place them in a 13’x9′ casserole baking dish in a single layer. Pour half of the garlic basil marina over the meatballs. Spread the ricotta cheese evenly across the top of your meatballs. Do this one small spoonful at a time so there is enough to cover them evenly. Then pour the other half of your marinara over the top of the ricotta. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top.

Is your oven still set for 375? Good. Place your dish in the oven and continue to bake for another 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
