This is one of my favorite go to dishes. It just screams comfort food. I was making it long before the days of GF. I made some slight changes and now its safe for the whole family.






Spaghetti & Meatballs
serves 6 prep time 30 min cook time 25 min

2 Tbsp EVOO
1 lb ground beef 85/15
1 small onion dices very small
3 cloves garlic dices
1 cup rice cereal crumbs
1 egg beaten
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp rosemary
1 tsp parsley
1/2 cup rice milk
salt & pepper
1 box of quinoa pasta
1 jar marinara spaghetti sauce


1. Add all ingredients into a bowl and combine well with your hands.
2. On the stove, pour EVOO into a heavy sauce pan, do not heat at this time. Begin to roll your ground beef mix into 1 1/2 inch balls. Place them into the oil. Once all of your meatballs are in the pan,
turn heat onto med-high.
Brown meatballs on all sides, getting them nice and crisp.
3. Once they are brown add the marinara sauce to the meatballs and let cook on medium heat for about 20 minutes or until your desire of doneness.
