Ingredients:
- For the Meatballs:

- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown.
