Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
Shape the mixture into 1 to 1.5-inch diameter balls and arrange them on the baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes until browned and fully cooked through.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add chopped spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, cooking until the spinach wilts.
Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
Toss the meatballs gently in the creamy sauce until well coated.
Plate the meatballs hot, garnished with fresh basil. Enjoy!
