My mom cooked this for dinner, and it was a huge success. I had to ask for the recipe.

Chicken ricotta meatballs with spinach alfredo sauce is one of those comforting dishes that feels like a warm hug after a long day. I first stumbled upon this recipe during a hectic week when I needed something quick yet satisfying. The creamy alfredo sauce pairs perfectly with the tender meatballs, and the addition of spinach makes it feel just a bit healthier. It's a dish that brings together the best of Italian flavors with a touch of homey comfort, perfect for a family dinner or a cozy night in.
This dish pairs beautifully with a simple green salad or some roasted vegetables to add a bit of freshness and crunch. If you're feeling indulgent, serve it with a side of garlic bread to soak up all that delicious sauce. A glass of crisp white wine or a sparkling water with lemon would complement the flavors nicely.
