These were wonderful! I added cheese to mine as well and the little extra creamy treat was a nice addition. Also, I used panko bread crumbs. Keeper!

First, the ragu is fantastic. My husband couldn't get enough of it. As far as the rice balls, these are incredible. I added some slivers of provolone in the ball before adding the ragu (because every rice ball I've ever had had oozing cheese in the middle, so I wanted to give it a shot. It was worth it. One tip though - I didn't make the balls in my hands. Instead, I used a round bottom 1/3 cup measuring cup, sprayed with cooking spray every so often so the rice didn't stick. It worked perfectly. I simply filled the cup partially with rice, made a well in the center, filled it, and added a mound of rice on top to enclose the center. I turned it out into my hand, neatened up any rough edges, rolled it in bread crumbs and moved onto the next one. And I didn't use saffron because I couldn't bring myself to pay $18/oz. You don't miss it if you don't have saffron. I read that you can substitute a small amount of turmeric to reproduce the color of the saffron, but don't add too much because the taste will be off. Rather than play with it, I just left it out and no one missed it.
