Ingredients

4 servings

For the pasta

12 oz gluten free spaghetti
Organic Gluten Free Brown Rice Spaghetti, 12 oz
See all
1 tbsp olive oil

For the meatballs

1 lb ground beef (80/20)
½ lb ground pork
Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground pork and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
⅓ cup gluten free breadcrumbs
¼ cup whole milk
Ingredient note
Higher-fat dairy is sometimes limited on an anti-inflammatory diet because saturated fat can be pro-inflammatory for some people, but this recipe uses only about 1 tbsp of whole milk per serving, so the amount is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid whole milk, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 large egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
¼ cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
Chef's tip
Match the form the recipe uses - grated for sprinkling and sauces, a firm wedge for shaving. If the recipe melts the cheese, choose a product labeled meltable.
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper

For the sauce

2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans (28 oz each) crushed tomatoes
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp granulated sugar
Ingredient note
Added sugar is limited on an anti-inflammatory diet. This recipe contains about 1 g of added sugar per serving, which is likely acceptable for many following the diet. If you prefer to always avoid white sugar, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
salt and pepper, to taste

For serving

¼ cup fresh basil leaves, torn
parmesan cheese, grated, for serving (optional)
Chef's tip
Match the form the recipe uses - grated for sprinkling and sauces, a firm wedge for shaving. If the recipe melts the cheese, choose a product labeled meltable.

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil.
