Calabrian Style Cheese Balls
  1. Note: If your cottage cheese is watery, place a cheesecloth-lined, fine-mesh strainer over a bowl. Place cottage cheese in strainer, cover with plastic wrap, then place a heavy object (like a large plate) on top. Let sit in the refrigerator for an hour.

  2. Add all of the ingredients to large bowl. Use your hands to mix together all the ingredients.

  3. Roll into 1½ inch round balls and set aside.

  4. To a large skillet (it does not have to be cast iron) add the sauce. Once the sauce begins to simmer, add the basil. Once the basil has “melted” into the sauce, add the cheese balls.

  5. Ladle a bit of the sauce over each cheese ball. Let cook for 10 minutes, flipping each ball half way through.

  6. Top with a bit of pesto and eat warm.
