GFCF spaghetti & meatballs

(from _Getting you kid on a GFCF diet_ by Susan Lord)

Fantastic recipe! Usually GFCF diet and Italian food don't go together, but these are great- you'll never know it's GFCF! I also have a spaghetti sauce recipe on here that's GFCF.

Spaghetti
Ingredients:
2 T potato starch flour
1/3 c tapioca flour
1/3 c cornstarch
1 T xantham gum
1/2 t salt
2 large eggs
1 T veggie oil

Instructions:
Combine flours, constarch, xantham gum, & salt. Beat eggs lightly and add oil. Pour egg into flour mixture and stir. Work dough into firm ball. Knead a minute or 2.
Place ball of dough into pasta machine (if you have one- if not roll thinly and cut into noodles- that's what I do and it tastes fine). You'll need to flour your hands while you make it as it gets pretty sticky. Boil water over the stove, add oil and salt. Cook spaghetti for 10 mins.

Meatballs
Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef
1 t salt
1 egg
1/2 t garlic
2 T diced onion

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350F. Combine all ingredients in large bowl with your hands, and roll into bite size meatballs. Place meatballs in a oiled baking pan and bake about 35 mins. Add to sauce.

Bow Tie Pasta with Tomatoes & Bacon

(from Kera's cooking blog)

5 slices bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 can diced tomatoes with garlic and onion
1 can chicken broth
3 cups uncooked bow tie pasta

In a big skillet cook bacon pieces until done. Reduce heat and add onion and cook until onion is tender (2-3 mins). Stir in tomatoes, broth, and uncooked pasta. Heat until boiling, then reduce and simmer for 10-12 minutes until pasta is done. Remove from heat and let stand for 3-5 minutes.
