Delicious and simple meatball recipe that can easily be made dairy-free and gluten-free if you use dairy-free milk and gluten-free bread crumbs. I served with angel hair pasta and Cucina Antica tomato basil sauce, topped with Gotham Greens basil and ricotta. Feel free to use chickpea pasta for a lower-carb and higher protein pasta option.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/3 cup Italian bread crumbs
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• Dash of salt and pepper
• 1 tbsp sundried tomato pesto
• 1 small onion chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tbsp minced garlic

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or foil sprayed with cooking spray.
2. Chop onion and parsley. Combine all of the ingredients thoroughly in a medium sized bowl. (I use my hands to mix.)
3. Form meatballs- this mixture makes about 18 total meatballs, depending on the size you make them.
4. Bake meatballs for about 20 minutes, until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the middle.
