Ingredients
-
1 lb Ground Hot Italian Sausage
1 cup Part Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Frozen Spinach, thawed and drained
4 Garlic Cloves, minced
2 Roma Tomatoes, diced
1/2 tsp Sage
Handful of Chives
Pinch of Lemon Zest
Pinch of Onion Powder
Pinch of Black Pepper
Directions
1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2) Spray nonstick cooking oil on a cookie sheet.

These were amazing. Loved them! Followed directions to a "T" and they came out great. However, where did you find sausage that was so low in fat/cals? I had to redo the ingreds. because my sausage was 200 cals for 2oz! I was also able to get nine BIG meatballs out of this. It was worth it! - 1/25/10

This was better than my husband and I expected it to be, a pleasant surprise! It was an easy week night meal. My husband preferred to eat it with rice. I think it would be great rolled into a tortilla or maybe served "hamburger-style." My 4 and 2 year old boys weren't crazy about it, though. - 2/13/10
