Baked Chicken Ricotta Meatballs with Spinach Alfredo Sauce
Ingredients
Chicken ricotta meatballs
1.5 lb (680 g) ground chicken
3/4 cup whole‑milk ricotta, well stirred
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp Italian seasoning
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil (for your hands + tray)
Spinach Alfredo sauce
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil (or more butter)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk (or more cream)
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan (plus extra to serve)
1/2 tsp kosher salt, to taste
1/4 tsp black pepper
Pinch nutmeg (optional but classic)
3 packed cups baby spinach, roughly chopped
Juice of 1/2 lemon (optional, for brightness)
To finish
Extra parsley, grated Parmesan, black pepper
Instructions
Heat oven: 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment and lightly oil it.
Mix meatballs: In a large bowl combine ground chicken, ricotta, panko, egg, Parmesan, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic. Mix gently with a fork until just combined; the mixture will be soft.
Form: Lightly oil your hands. Scoop into 20–24 golf‑ball–size meatballs (about 2 tbsp each) and set on the tray.
Bake: Bake 12 minutes. Turn the broiler to high and broil 3–5 minutes until tops are golden and centers read 165°F (74°C). Set aside; keep warm.
Make spinach Alfredo: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil. Add garlic; cook 30–45 seconds until fragrant. Pour in cream and milk; simmer gently 2–3 minutes to thicken slightly. Whisk in Parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth and glossy. Stir in spinach; cook 1–2 minutes until wilted. If sauce gets too thick, loosen with a splash of milk or pasta water.
Combine: Nestle baked meatballs into the skillet of sauce and simmer 1–2 minutes so flavors marry. Squeeze in a little lemon juice if using.
Serve: Sprinkle with parsley and extra Parmesan. Great over pasta, gnocchi, or mashed potatoes with garlic bread alongside.
Tips and swaps
Extra tender: Let the meatball mixture rest 5–10 minutes before forming so panko hydrates.
Breadcrumb swap: Use 1/3 cup fine dry breadcrumbs or 1/2 cup crushed buttery crackers.
Lighter sauce: Replace half the cream with evaporated milk; simmer a bit longer to thicken.
Add-ons: Stir in sautéed mushrooms or sun‑dried tomatoes with the spinach.
Make ahead: Bake meatballs up to 2 days ahead; rewarm in the sauce 10 minutes on low. Sauce reheats best gently with a splash of milk.

Hay niveles de niveles, y luego está una buena salsa de ajo casera.
Es el detalle que hace que una picadera normal se convierta en un festín. Sin el toque del ajo, a la comida le falta alma.🧄
