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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Shape the mixture into meatballs, approximately 1 inch in diameter. You should have about 16-20 meatballs.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Serve the meatballs and sauce over the cooked gluten-free spaghetti. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and additional grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Step 8

Enjoy your delicious Gluten-Free Spaghetti with Meatballs and Cheese!
