Ingredients

Meatball Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound pork sausage
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Marinara Sauce Ingredients

  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 onion minced
  • 24 ounces tomato passata
  • fresh basil optional

Instructions

  • Heat your oil in a skillet or dutch oven over medium high heat.
  • While oil heats, combine the beef, sausage, egg, almond flour, and seasoning in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Form this mixture into large meatballs, about 1-2 Tablespoons each (depending on your preference). Place into skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping once as needed.
  • When meatballs are cooked through, remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the onions to the same skillet used to cook meatballs and sauté until browned all over, turning with your spatula every couple minutes.
  • Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add the tomato passata. If desired, add fresh basil, to taste.
  • Add the meatballs back into the pan with your marinara sauce so they'll be warm and fully coated in sauce (about 2 minutes).
