Ingrédients

1 pound ground beef

1 pound ground pork

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup almond flour

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

2 large eggs

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup olive oil

1 can crushed tomatoes (28 oz)

1/2 cup diced onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, parsley, eggs, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, cooking until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Add the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine.
Return the meatballs to the skillet, nestling them into the marinara sauce. Simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the meatballs to cook through.
Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley and a side of zucchini noodles or a fresh green salad for a complete keto-friendly meal.
