Italian Cheese Balls

The cheese balls add a change to your pasta dinner. This is a great recipe that I got from my father. He made these while I was growing up and I loved them, now I want to share this with everyone.

Step: 1

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Step: 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, flour, salt, vanilla, lemon zest and eggs. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites and sugar. Pour into the cheese mixture, and mix until well blended. Roll into balls about the size of a golf ball, and place in a glass baking dish.

Step: 3

Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown on top.
