1 lb ricotta cheese, drained for 2-3 hours in cheesecloth (I keep it in the fridge)

1 cup semolina

1TBS passum (recipe here)

1/8 Tsp fresh ground pepper

1/8 Tsp nutmeg

½ cup light olive oil (or for a richer flavor, you can use ¼ cup olive oil, ¼ cup butter)

½ cup honey plus 1 TBS passum, warmed over low heat.

Mix all ingredients except olive oil and honey. Roll dough into ½ inch balls.

Heat olive oil on low. Add dough and turn quickly. Be careful as dough can turn dark quickly. That’s a nice way of saying burn. Not that it happened to me or anything.

Dip the fried globuli into warm honey and passum until completely covered.
