Preparation Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, flax eggs, fresh parsley, minced garlic, ground beef (or plant-based meat substitute), Italian seasoning, pepper, and salt.
- Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and browned on the outside.
- While the meatballs are baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped yellow onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and additional minced garlic to the skillet.
- Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions.
- Drain and set aside.
- Once the meatballs are done baking, add them to the skillet with the tomato sauce.
- Stir gently to coat the meatballs with the sauce.
- Serve the meatballs and sauce over the cooked spaghetti.
- Sprinkle with nutritional yeast or grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
