Cottage Cheese Meatballs

By Jesse Szewczyk

Adding cottage cheese to a meatball might sound like an attempt to cram extra protein into a recipe, but it’s not the only valid reason. Something magical happens with the addition of cottage cheese: It practically disappears in the baking process, lending the meatballs juiciness and a subtle savory-salty flavor.
