Ingredients

For the pasta

1 lb gluten free spaghetti

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
1 large egg
¼ cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
Ingredient note
Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of oregano used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid oregano, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
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
Ingredient note
Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of oregano used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid oregano, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tsp granulated sugar
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
salt and pepper, to taste

For serving

¼ cup fresh basil leaves, torn
