Wrap meatballs in a creamy ricotta filling and crescent roll dough and bake to create these fun appetizers served on a stick.
Place one frozen meatball on top of the cheese. Pull up opposite sides of the dough and pinch together. Continue to pull up the dough, pinching it to close all the seams then roll it around in the palm of your hand to smooth out the seams.
Place the dough-wrapped meatballs seam side down on a non-stick tin foil-lined baking sheet (or a non-stick pan) and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Repeat, making a total of 33 dough-wrapped meatballs.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown rotating the pan midway through so the crescent dough browns evenly.
Remove the meatballs from the oven and immediately insert a long wooden skewer or lollipop stick into each.
Warm the marinara sauce in the microwave or on the stove.
Serve the meatball lollipops with the marinara sauce.
You can make these ahead and keep them covered well in the refrigerator before baking. Or you can bake them ahead and rewarm them in a 250-degree oven for about 8 minutes until heated through.
