Change your Italian recipes to OMG delish!

Italian Glue So Good

Recipe Hack / Cooking Tips:

  • Use Whole Milk Ricotta: The whole milk is creamier and less paste like. This allows it to melt into the meatballs or meatloaf with a silky texture.
  • Do Not Buy Expensive Ricotta: The ricotta is the secret star. I buy store bought ricotta because it melts in to accompany the meat. If you were making ricotta dip were it is all about the ricotta then buy fancy cheese.

Things you will need:

  • Make Your Own Ricotta: Click here: for my favorite brand
  • Microplane to Grate Your Own Cheese: Click here: for an awesome recommendation!

My secret ricotta mixture makes

  • Meatballs soft, juicy and award winning! (1/2 cup of Italian glue and 1/2 cup bread crumbs, instead of milk soaked bread in a meatball recipe)
  • Eggplant Rollatini sizzles, applauds and rolls into your heart (use the whole recipe of Italian Glue)
  • Baked Ziti that is better then any Italian restaurant and almost as good as Grandmas! (use the whole recipe of Italian Glue)
