How to Make Gluten-Free Meatballs and Pasta

Ivan Solis

When it comes to meatballs, we’ve perfected the dish. They’re both dairy-free and gluten-free, but don’t be fooled—these just may be the most flavorful meatballs to ever come across your taste buds (truly, they are a top request when I cook for the Poosh team). These savory and juicy meatballs make a perfect side dish, party appetizer, or in this case, pasta topper.

Plan ahead and do your meatball prep and seasoning beforehand. Then store the meat in the fridge, covered, until you are ready to cook.

*Feel free to sub organic, lean turkey meat for the organic, grass-fed beef listed below
