Traditional Italian meatballs are a beauty to behold. Their texture is hard to replicate without the use of bread crumbs, but a mixture of almond flour and Parmesan cheese stands in quite nicely. Combined with sugar-free Pasta Sauce and heaps of mozzarella cheese, this dish pairs perfectly with a plate of Zucchini Noodles or is just as delicious on its own.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound 80-percent lean ground beef

  • 1/2 pound ground pork

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1/4 cup almond flour

  • 2 tbsp water

  • 1 tbsp minced garlic

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 1 1/2 cups Pasta Sauce, or purchased sugar-free marinara

  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, pork, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, water, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Form the meat into about 10 small meatballs.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and butter for about 1 minute.
  • Add the meatballs to the skillet. Brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet. Set aside.
  • In an oven-safe dish, arrange the meatballs to fill the dish with no large empty space.
  • Cover the meatballs with the Pasta Sauce. Top the meatballs evenly with the mozzarella.
  • Place the dish into the preheated oven. Bake for 15 t 20 minutes, until the cheese browns and the internal temperature of the meatballs is 170°F.
  • Garnish with the parsley, and serve.
