Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces gluten-free spaghetti
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 0.5 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 24 ounces marinara sauce (gluten-free)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Shape the mixture into meatballs, approximately 1 inch in diameter. You should have about 16-20 meatballs.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides.
Reduce the heat to low, then pour the gluten-free marinara sauce over the meatballs. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the meatballs to cook through and the flavors to meld.
Preheat your oven’s broiler. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the meatballs and sauce. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve the meatballs and sauce over the cooked gluten-free spaghetti. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and additional grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Enjoy your delicious Gluten-Free Spaghetti with Meatballs and Cheese!
