Take-out Tuesday, Marinara Ricotta Meatball Bubble-up
I recently tried a recipe on my April recipe bucket list for Baked Ravioli
I made a Marinara Ricotta Dip sauce for dipping ~
The baked ravioli was good but I probably won’t make it again
BUT
One of my friend’s said that the dip was so good he would even eat it on a shoe!
I saved the leftover dip thinking it would come in handy for something…
I had some meatballs in the freezer leftover from last week’s
Magic Mini Meatball Muffins and a dinner idea was born
Why not make a meatball bubble up!
The sausage, ground beef and cheese meatballs
tucked into the marinara ricotta sauce with biscuit dough pieces
and baked until hot and golden…
Yes please!
It’s kind of like spaghetti and meatballs with a side of garlic bread…
without the pasta!
If you don’t happen to have homemade meatballs tucked away in your freezer,
you can buy frozen meatballs to use,
but my meatballs are super easy to make
The marinara ricotta dip is so simple to throw together
Combine jarred marinara with ricotta cheese,
season with Italian seasoning and Parmesan
During baking the meatballs cook down into the sauce
and the biscuits rise up and turn golden
An easy Italian style dinner is born!
You could tuck in some tortellini or macaroni if desired,
but I promise you won’t even miss the pasta~
