Ingredients

See all
1 tsp salt

For the meatballs

¾ lb ground beef (80/20)
¼ 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
3 tbsp lactose-free milk
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.
2 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
3 tbsp scallion greens, finely sliced
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For the sauce

2 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
¼ cup scallion greens, sliced
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
½ cup chicken broth
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp sugar
Ingredient note
Added sugar is limited on an anti-inflammatory diet because it can promote inflammation, but the small amount (~1/4 tsp per serving) of white sugar here is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid white sugar, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For serving

2 tbsp fresh basil, torn (optional)
2 tbsp parmesan cheese, grated (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 baking sheet with foil and brush lightly with a little of the meatball garlic-infused oil.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten free breadcrumbs and milk and let stand for 2 minutes until the crumbs absorb the liquid. Add the ground beef, ground pork, egg, Parmesan, 2 tbsp garlic-infused oil, scallion greens, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands just until the ingredients are evenly combined — stop as soon as no streaks remain.
