Swaps and substitutions

For a gluten-free version, swap the breadcrumbs and pasta for certified gluten-free alternatives. To avoid dairy, use a plant-based melting cheese instead of mozzarella, or skip it and lean on the tomato sauce for richness.

What to serve with it

Serve with a simple green salad or roasted peppers to add freshness and balance the rich, cheesy meatballs. Garlic bread or extra pasta works well for a heartier plate, especially when feeding bigger appetites.
