Lemon-Ricotta Balls with Saffron Cream

They’re delicious, these little balls made from ricotta, flour, and Parmesan. Ricotta is often flavored with fresh herbs and lemon and pairs well with a simple tomato sauce. But here we’re going for luxury with saffron cream. Lemon balm intensifies the lemony aroma, but basil or arugula are equally good garnishes. The roasted green beans with chili and caper salsa are a spicy foil to the creamy little balls.
