Hidden Veggie Pasta with Homemade Mini Meatballs (gluten Free Comfort Food!)
This cozy Hidden Veggie Pasta with Homemade Mini Meatballs recipe features a homemade veggie-loaded sauce made with red bell pepper, Roma tomato, yellow onion, carrot, and garlic—blended to creamy perfection. Paired with tender mini meatballs and rotini noodles, it’s a family-friendly dinner packed with flavor, nutrients, and comfort. Perfect for busy weeknights, meal prep, or sneaky veggie wins with kids. While the dish itself is not spicy (don’t worry- it’s kid friendly!), a touch of toasted red pepper flakes on top elevated the flavor perfectly!
