Paleo Italian Meatballs
A quick and easy weeknight dish the whole family is sure to love! I’ve added in Spaghetti squash too in place of having pasta! It was really delicious, low in carbs and so healthy good without sacrificing any taste that’s for sure! This recipe is gluten/wheat/grain/ sugar-free. No one would even know unless you told them! From Paleo Magazine: Readers Favorites Cookbook For the Spaghetti squash, the secret to slicing in half is to microwave it for about 10 minutes first so it slices right through easily! Scoop out the seeds brush on a little olive oil on each piece and put face down on a baking sheet and roast on 400 for about 20. Mine was huge so it took about 20 min and it was perfect.
