Easy gluten free spaghetti and meatballs makes a delicious comfort meal any night of the week.
Envision mounds of spaghetti, fork twirling strands in a spoon, tasty meatballs, topped with red sauce and all gluten free.
It’s easy to make meatballs gluten free from scratch because you control the ingredients. Today, I use gluten free breadcrumbs in the mix plus sweet and tangy ketchup to amp up the flavor.
For the best tasting corn pasta, try Sams Mills pasta d’oro. We also like Tinkyada rice pasta.
So, are you ready to make them? Let’s go.
Instructions
*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.
To begin, whisk together egg, parsley, onion, ketchup, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl to blend. Stir in parmesan cheese and gluten-free breadcrumbs. Then mix in your ground beef.
Next, shape into meatballs. Not too tightly. You want to lightly roll them between your hands to form a ball that feels like it will just hold together.
Then either fry your meatballs in oil and brown them well on all sides over medium-low heat or broil them, as I do.
Finally, transfer the meatballs to your sauce, cover, and simmer until the meatballs are cooked through.
Serve them hot over cooked gluten-free spaghetti topped with grated Parmesan cheese. Adding a side salad and gluten free crusty garlic bread, gives you one hearty meal.

Gluten made a mess of the middle of my life: from get older 38, to age 63. after the major crash in 1991, I decided to MDs for 11 years and can never get a analysis. Then went to the naturopath, and got a diagnosis (silent celiac) within yearly. It then took another 6 years to acquire well, requiring much individual research, to heal gluten enteropathy, deal with all my nutritional inadequacies, and thyroid issues (hypothyroidism in addition to Reverse T3 Dominance).
