See all
1 tsp salt

For the meatballs

¾ lb ground beef (80/20)
¼ lb ground pork
⅓ cup gluten free breadcrumbs
3 tbsp lactose-free milk
1 large egg
¼ cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
2 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
3 tbsp scallion greens, finely sliced
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.
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

2 tbsp parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

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.
