Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare 1 large baking sheet with parchment paper*. Wash and dry all produce. Chop celery stalks, dice onion, mince garlic and chop parsley. Place parsley in a large bowl and set aside.
  2. In a medium pan over medium heat, add in 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. Then add in your celery, onion and garlic. Cook stirring often until onions and celery have softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl with chopped parsley.
  3. Add ground meat, dried basil, dried oregano, gluten free bread crumbs, egg, salt and pepper to the bowl with the other ingredients.
  4. Using your hands, mix everything together until it has formed a consistent texture throughout. Take a clump of the mixture and work it into a 1 1/2 inch round ball. Place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, until you have none left.
  5. Place baking sheet into preheated oven and cook for 30 minutes. Once they are done, transfer the meatballs to a pot with your pasta sauce**, over medium heat. Cook the meatballs for another 15 minutes.
  6. Divide your choice of pasta between the bowls. Top with homemade meatballs and sauce.
  7. ENJOY!
Recipe Notes

*Another option is to cook the meatball on a wire rack that is set into the baking sheet. This will allow any fat from the meat to drip off into the baking sheet, resulting in a healthier meatball.

**If you prefer to not finish cooking the meatballs in pasta sauce, leave them in the oven for 5 minutes longer. The sauce allows them to finish cooking without drying them out. But they are almost completely cooked around 30 minutes in the oven.
