A warm, smooth and spicy feel-good meal. This dish is perfect for using up day-old, dry white bread and is also a wonderful vegetarian alternative to meatballs. If you double up on the tomato sauce, you will have enough to use with pasta the following day. The little bits of ricotta that are left behind in the sauce make it especially tasty.
