Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Sugar Free Spaghetti and Meatballs


The Meatballs are the MAIN focus of this course!! 

My kids love meatballs and when we go to our local Italian restaurant if they don't want pizza, meatballs are the second one on the list! 

Because we have gone Gluten Free this has changed things a bit for us! 

Thanks to Costco it has made the sauce and pasta pretty dang easy for us... You will see what I used below!  

So onto the meatballs! (Said in an Italian accent 😜) 

I decided to make my own Turkey and Organic Ground Beef mix meatball. 

Here is what you will need : 

1 lb turkey 
1 lb organic grass fed beef 
1 small/medium white onion
1/2 cup Almond flour , (addition 1/2 or more to coat meatballs )
4 Tbs Dried Parsley 
2 tsp Italian seasoning 
1/2 tsp garlic salt or sea salt 
1/4 ground pepper 
1 Tbs of coconut oil to cook them in 

Directions 

Set oven to 400
Fork meats together 
Combine dry ingredients in seperate bowl 
Fork in dry ingredients 
Roll balls into 1 1/2 inch balls 
Roll them in the extra almond flour lightly (shake extra off)
In large pan heat almond oil and cook balls to lightly grown each side (about 3 minutes each side) 

Place balls on a baking sheet in the oven for about 25 minutes or until cooked through. 



Cook Gluten Free pasta on the stove with  salt. (Remember gluten is found in quinoa and brown rice---> thank you deceiving labels 😡) 

We love this edamame spaghetti (from Costco) , or garbanzo bean pasta!! (From whole foods) 


 Heat sauce (from Costco) in a pan on the stove and add in meat balls once fully cooked 


(ALWAYS CHECK INGRIDIENTS!!) 
** notice there is no SUGAR in this one! ** 

Once all is cooked, Add your saucy and balls to the pasta and ENJOY!! 


**A great side is steamed or baked green beans and or broccoli!! ** 


These meatballs can be frozen for later use too, making for a quick and easy HEALTHY and CLEAN meal in a pinch!
