Sketti and Meatballs will forever be my favorite meal. When I found out I couldn’t have real pasta ever again, I was like….WHAT. Excuse me? Is this a bad dream? Eventually I got over it. But it took me almost an entire year to find a brand of gluten free pasta that actually looked and tasted like real pasta (Jovial Foods, you’re awesome). I’ve also grown to love spaghetti squash. It’s a great alternative to pasta, has a nice crunch, and tastes great…and it’s good for you!
I’ve been making a version of these meatballs for a while now – they are really simple to make, gluten free, paleo, and Whole30 compliant. I had some extra prosciutto lying around in the fridge, so I decided to throw it into the mix and they turned out SO GOOD. The prosciutto gives the meatballs a nice salty, savory kick. I find compliant prosciutto at Costco. Just look for a brand where the ingredients are simply pork and salt.
To save time, I prefer to throw these into a pot with some Rao’s Marinara once they’re done baking. I let them simmer for 30ish minutes so the flavors of the meatballs really seep into the sauce. And if you want to make your own homemade sauce, more power to you!
I also love doubling this recipe – eat half for dinner and save the rest for meals throughout the week. I’m all about saving time and working smarter not harder 🙂

Love this recipe! Make it weekly and my non celiacs love it too!
My family and I love this recipe and you can’t beat how easy it is to make! I’ve been tracking macros lately and am wondering what serving size you used for the nutritional info here. I may make my meatballs smaller than you since it usually makes at least 24 for me. Thanks for your help!
Hi! I used 12 servings (each meatball is 1 serving). So for you, it would be for 2 meatballs!
This recipe is responsible for teaching me how to correctly spell prosciutto because I searched for it so many times
Delicious and easy! My favorite combo!
Thanks Kim! Glad you liked it!
These are hands down the best meatballs I’ve ever had! They are so good with spaghetti squash or zoodles. Definitely adding these to our arsenal of healthy meals! 🙂
Thank you Maria! That is such a great compliment! So glad you enjoyed them.
