Add about a half a cup of gluten-free breadcrumbs to the pork sausage.

If using leftover breadcrumbs, rinse them before adding to remove bitterness.

Add a cup of spinach to the mixture.

Chop shallots and add them to the mixture as well.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as necessary.

Scoop the mixture and form into meatballs, placing them on a plate.

Place the meatballs in the oven for 30 minutes to bake.

Once baked, serve the meatballs traditionally on a bed of marinara sauce.
