If you are looking for a change to your regular spaghetti night, these Ricotta Meatballs are the answer!

This makes about 10 servings.

Notes: You don’t have to make these in the crockpot, they can be done on the stove or even in the oven. *See the full recipe for details. I also made the full recipe, but froze half the meatballs for a future spaghetti night!

*If you want to watch the video of this being made, this recipe starts at the 4:03 mark.

These meatballs are an unexpected surprise when you bite into them! My family LOVED this recipe.
