Happy Friday! This week I’ve been cooking up a storm—my inspiration honestly goes in waves so I try to take advantage when I can so that has meant tonsss of recipe testing this week. I’m experimenting with some new flavors and also had a chance to re-make some of my favorite old recipes from the blog to give them a little refresh.
The recipe I’m sharing with you today has actually been on my mind for a while. First because I’ve gotten quite a few requests from you all to share some recipes with red meat (which I do eat, I just tend to include chicken or turkey in most of my recipes) and second because the idea of a saucy, creamy dish with mini meatballs just sounded very appealing to me. It’s definitely giving a similar vibe to my lemon basil turkey meatballs with creamy rice recipe, which I know so many of you love.
I love making comforting meals that taste amazing but also nourish you and this recipe feels like a perfect example. The primary components you’re going to need are:
Ground beef (substitution options are below)
Shallot & garlic
Orzo—I have a few different GF recs for you below
Cherry tomatoes & tomato paste
Chicken or veggie broth
Coconut milk, duh
Fresh basil leaves
Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast
This one is, IMO, wonderful for a Friday or Saturday night dinner in 💘
