I recently had an appetizer at a restaurant that was great. They simply took some house-made ricotta and made balls about the size of golf balls. They then put the ricotta balls in about a half inch of tomato sauce and baked the whole thing. Not surprisingly, when I tried to duplicate the recipe, the ricotta balls just melted down and combined with the tomato sauce.

Does anyone have any ideas what I could mix with the ricotta to make itt hold its consistency?

I suspect there was egg involved.
