Meatballs – Recipe

This basic meatball recipe is easy to make. No frying! Flavored with shallot, tomato paste and a hint of Dijon mustard, these simple meatballs are incredibly tasty. Meatballs are also a great make ahead dinner dish.

I have a habit of serving these over Paleo pasta, along with Caesar salad, and roasted broccoli. Swapping out high-carb processed food such as pasta for super food vegetable noodles is a win-win.
