These Arancini Balls are the perfect way to enjoy leftover risotto, complemented with a rich marinara sauce and served on crispy greens. The risotto, preferably cavolo nero, is stuffed with mozzarella, rolled into balls, panéed with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs, then fried to golden perfection. The marinara sauce is made from fresh tomatoes, garlic, basil, tomato purée, olive oil, salt, oregano, and pepper, cooked down and blended until smooth for a delicious finish.
