Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 cup Gluten Free Breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup Onion Finely chopped, about 1/2 a smalll onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Milk
  • 2-4 tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese Optional, but delicious
  • 2-4 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Onion Finely chopped, about 1/2 a small onion
  • 1 28 ounce can Crushed Tomatoes with Basil Or Italian seasonings
  • 2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1-2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar Optional
  • Gluten Free Spaghetti Or spaghetti squash

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with foil (for easy clean up.)
  • Combine all the ingredients for the meatballs in a bowl and lightly mix.
  • Scoop the meatball mixture into 1 1/2-2 tablespoon balls and lightly roll into balls. (I used my cookie scoop.)
  • Bake on the prepared baking sheet for 16-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • Heat a heavy bottomed pan and sauté the onion until translucent and just turning golden in just enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  • Add the balsamic vinegar and sweeten to taste with the sugar, if desired.
  • Cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds.
  • Place cut side up on a microwave safe baking dish.
  • Put a few tablespoons of water in the bottom of the dish and drizzle the spaghetti squash with a little olive oil and then season liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Microwave for 5-7 minutes, or until you can easily push a fork through the squash’s flesh. A bigger squash will need longer to cook. Be careful not to over-cook it as it will be mushy. Alternatively, you can bake the squash in the oven.
  • Scrape the “noodles” out of the squash using a fork.

Notes

  • The less you handle the meatball mixture, the more tender your meatballs will be. If you vigorously mix them and roll them they will be tough.
