I'm new to the gluten-free thing (cooking differently for a while for my daughter)... I have never made meatballs without breadcrumbs and/or eggs and I had no idea how they would come out. Well, these were DELICIOUS! A little denser than my "traditional" meatballs but just as yummy and nobody complained. This was a fantastic recipe to help us enjoy pasta with tomato sauce and meatballs over gluten-free pasta.
