Meatballs. The perfect compliment to spaghetti. Good GF ones are out there, I am sure, but they have remained evasive. We have not found pre-made GF meatballs, but have tried making some of our own using Gillian's GF Bread Crumbs. We will not try that again, if you know what I mean. The bread 'crumbs' turned out to be more like bread 'dust' and made the meatballs grainy and gross. One thing we have turned to is dinner sausage. Spaghetti and Sausage lacks the ring of Spaghetti and Meatballs, but we are not in a perfect world, and as such S&S will do. Our favorites are the Al Fresco pre-cooked ones, and I know those are GF, but am not sure about their other products.
We have a really yummy (albeit spicy) tomato sauce, but I cannot find it currently :)
So here is this one, which is also pretty good.

My mom uses oat flour - she just puts Bob's Red Mill GF Oats in the coffee grinder and makes flour out of them. She also puts some ground flax seed in there...sounds wierd, but for some reason it makes them more tender. We make them every few weeks (I usually put fennel, dill, and some other spices in) and they're good. We use either ground beef or ground turkey, sometimes put some Blue & Gold sausage in (not sure if they have that on the West Coast?).
@Ty-Oh wow that is super cool. Thanks!
I use Ener G's gluten free bread crumbs. they are plain so I season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, parsley and some grated cheese. the meatballs come out great, I have served them to people who could not believe they were GF. If you can't find them in a store near you, you can order them online. I usually order them in bulk and store it in the freezer.
