Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 12 oz gluten-free spaghetti
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, gluten-free breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, egg, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix until well combined, then shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then return the meatballs to the skillet. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
- While the meatballs are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the spaghetti and divide among serving plates.
- Top the cooked spaghetti with the meatballs and sauce. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and additional grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Spaghetti with meatballs is a classic Italian-American dish that has become a staple in many households and restaurants. The origins of this dish can be traced back to Italian immigrants who brought their traditional recipes to the United States. The combination of tender, flavorful meatballs and al dente spaghetti, smothered in rich tomato sauce, has become a beloved comfort food. In recent years, the demand for gluten-free options has led to the adaptation of this dish to accommodate those with dietary restrictions. Chefs and home cooks have embraced gluten-free pasta as a substitute for traditional wheat-based spaghetti, allowing everyone to enjoy this hearty meal. One renowned restaurant known for its exceptional gluten-free spaghetti with meatballs is located in the heart of New York City's Little Italy. The chef, with a passion for authentic Italian cuisine, has perfected the art of crafting gluten-free pasta that rivals its traditional counterpart. The meatballs, a blend of ground beef, pork, and veal, are seasoned with a medley of herbs and spices, creating a symphony of flavors. The key to a successful gluten-free spaghetti with meatballs lies in the preparation of the pasta and the meatballs. The gluten-free pasta should be cooked just right to achieve the ideal texture, while the meatballs require a careful balance of ingredients to ensure they are juicy and full of savory goodness. For those looking to recreate this dish at home, using high-quality gluten-free pasta and taking the time to season and sear the meatballs to perfection are essential steps. Additionally, exploring alternative methods for binding the meatballs, such as using gluten-free breadcrumbs or oats, can yield delicious results.
