Classic Low-FODMAP Italian Meatballs Recipe; Gluten-free

Printer Friendly Version

Just because you are on the low-FODMAP diet, it does not mean you can’t enjoy all your favorite foods (one of my personal mantras).  Here is a classic recipe for low-FODMAP Italian Meatballs that is full of the flavors you love.  These low-FODMAP Meatballs are great with low-FODMAP spaghetti or other pasta, or in a low-FODMAP meatball sandwich.

Pair these low-FODMAP Meatballs with my low-FODMAP Marinara sauce recipe for the perfect combination, and added vegetable nutrients.  Low-FODMAP Meatballs are rich, filling and disappear fast!  A meal you can be proud to serve your family.  This recipe is also gluten-free.

I love using my low-FODMAP Happy Spice Italian Seasoning to make this low-FODMAP recipe even easier.
