- Grated Gran Campidano Arborea 40 g
- Eggs 1
- Garlic Cloves 1
- Parsley sprigs 1
- Extra virgin olive oil q.b.
- Salt q.b.

Instructions
- 1 To make the goat ricotta meatballs, first mince the parsley and garlic; in a bowl, add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, the ricotta (drained for a couple of hours), the mince, and a whole egg. Season with salt and pepper and begin working the mixture by hand.
- 2 Add the grated Parmesan and breadcrumbs to your dough and mix until the mixture is smooth and compact. Then, shape it into a loaf and begin to break off small pieces of dough with your fingers and work them with the palms of your hands, forming small circular meatballs.
- 3 Now, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can fry them by heating some seed oil in a nonstick pan. Once ready, season with salt, arrange them on a plate, and enjoy!
