Ingredients

For the pasta

See all
1 tbsp olive oil

For the meatballs

1 lb ground beef (80/20)
½ lb ground pork
½ cup gluten free breadcrumbs
¼ cup whole milk
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened soy milk, measured 1:1. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in sauces, custards, and baked goods. For hot or acidic drinks, a barista-style soy milk resists curdling.
1 large egg
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.
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper

For the sauce

2 tbsp olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp granulated sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
salt and pepper, to taste

For serving

¼ cup fresh basil leaves, torn
parmesan cheese, 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.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten free breadcrumbs and whole milk. Stir and let stand for 2 minutes until the breadcrumbs absorb the milk and form a paste.
