Ground meat with ricotta and tomatoes is a delicate and aromatic dish that combines French elegance with simplicity. Beef mince sautéed with spicy chili flakes gains a rich flavor, while added fresh tomatoes provide a light tanginess and juiciness. Ricotta, a soft Italian cheese, gives the dish a creamy texture, making it harmonious and refined. This combination of flavors makes the recipe versatile: it suits both everyday dinners and more festive occasions. It can be served with crispy baguette or pasta, complemented by fresh herbs. Inspired by French culinary traditions, this recipe embodies a balance of tenderness, richness, and light spiciness.
