Italian Meatballs and Spaghetti Squash Noodles

This recipe is a spin on a traditional favorite, but without the dairy and wheat noodles. It’s important to use a good quality homemade stock in this recipe as most of the store-bought varieties of beef stock—even the organic brands—use caramel coloring, which can contain gluten.

Ingredients

Meatballs

2 pounds ground beef
½ cups blanched almond flour
1 cups grated carrots packed
½ cups finely chopped green onions
½ cups finely chopped parsley
2 large eggs whisked
1 tablespoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoons sea salt
½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoons garlic powder

Sauce

3 cups chicken bone broth
1 cups marinara sauce
3 tablespoons arrowroot powder
2 teaspoons dried thyme
sea salt (to taste)
freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Other Ingredients

1 medium spaghetti squash (about 3 pounds)

These meatballs are tender and perfectly seasoned. Baking them in the broth/sauce mixture adds even more flavor and helps keep them moist. I served them over GF pasta, with extra marinara sauce.
