To make this dish even more tasty and inviting, especially for children, you can prepare little balls of ricotto and chopped, boiled vegetables, including 50 g of Parmigiano Reggiano, 50 g of breadcrumbs and 1 whole egg, working the mixture with your hands until it reaches the right consistency. The little balls are then cooked directly in the sauce.
