We like the flavor of this gluten-free skillet spaghetti even better than normal spaghetti. Since the gluten-free noodles actually cook in the spaghetti sauce, the sauce flavor really soaks in. Leftovers are spectacular too! I have to admit that I love the cheesy topping the most!
I love easy one-dish meals for busy weeknights. Like most families, I find the dinner hour to be such a busy time, with getting the kids through their after-school routine, chores, and homework, while making dinner. Meals like this gluten-free Skillet Spaghetti are perfect for weeknights. It may not be a photogenic recipe, but it’s sure easy and a hit with the fam.
When I’m on the ball with planning ahead, I even pre-cook a bunch of ground beef and freeze in 1/2 lb. servings, so that I can pull it out to make this meal even quicker to make!
The beauty of this recipe is you can really change up the flavor with easy swaps.
Can’t stand the thought of store-bought sauce? Feel free to use homemade!
Prefer Italian Sausage over beef? Use it! I have and it is delicious!
Want more seasonings? Feel free to add Italian seasonings or your favorite fresh herbs.
Want to make this dairy-free? Just leave off the cheese or sprinkle with a dairy-free cheese alternative.
I’ve made this with many different brands of gluten-free spaghetti noodles with success: DeLallo Gluten Free Corn and Rice Spaghetti
Add this one-skillet meal to your menu plan this week. I’m sure your family will love it and you’ll love the easy clean-up too!
Gluten-free Skillet Spaghetti:
One skillet is all you need to make this entire gluten-free spaghetti dinner! I even serve it up right from the skillet, so I only have one thing to wash! Leftovers freeze and reheat well. Dairy-free option: Omit cheeses or substitute with a dairy-free cheese alternative.Gluten-free One Skillet Spaghetti

Have you ever made meatballs to go with your skillet spaghetti instead of the ground meat? Or gf meatballs in general??? Just curious! 🙂 Thanks!!!

It’s been 20 plus years since I had to go GF. Back then it was so hard to find anything GF now we’ve got people coming up with all kinds of yummy recipes. I’m making this tonight for dinner. It’s cooking as I type. The recipe is really easy and it smells so good. Thanks so much for the recipes! Dinner is served. : )

Hi I’m totally new to GF life, and wondering where I can find GF noodles for spaghetti or pasta. Also my family is picky and doesn’t like meat in spaghetti, so would that be ok to leave out or be on side? And wondering where I can find GF bread, I love bread! Thanks. And loving all the GF recipes.
