1 Egg
½ Cup Gluten Free Breadcrumbs or Ground Almonds
Zest of 1 Lemon
1 Handful Chopped Parsley
1 Onion, Grated
For the Sauce
2 800g Cans of Crushed Tomatoes plus 1 empty can of water or white wine

2 Cloves of Garlic
2 Carrots
1 tsp Dried Oregano
1 tsp Dried Basil

Mix all the ingredients for the meatballs in a large bowl. Roll into balls about 2 inches in diameter. Drizzle with a little olive oil (optional) and bake in the oven at 375F/185C for 15 minutes.
While the meatballs are baking, simmer all of the sauce ingredients together in 1 pot for 25 minutes. Once cooked, pour the meatballs with their juices into the pot and serve with your favorite pasta, rice or a healthier low carb option of spiralized or julienne zucchini.
