Spaghetti and Meatballs with Garlic Crumbs image

Garlic crumbs add a nice crunch to this spaghetti from my cookbook, Cooking for Isaiah: Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Recipes for Easy, Delicious Meals. No one would guess this hearty, Italian-style favorite is gluten-free. -Silvana Nardone, Brooklyn, New York
