Traditionally, this recipe for strawberry meatballs is made with potato dough, but with cottage cheese they are much lighter, so this lighter variant is usually preferred and ideal for summer.
An important recommendation to keep in mind when preparing this recipe is to make sure to seal the dough well , to minimize the chances of the balls falling apart in the water.
Another detail to take into account is the temperature of the fire. The meatballs should be simmered , as this allows the cooked dough to be softer and fluffier, an essential condition to obtain good results in its final flavor.
