INGREDIENTS
4.5 ounces Lean Ground Beef (90% lean)
1 cup Whole Wheat Spaghetti, cooked
1/2 cup Fresh Tomato Sauce
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil
Salt & Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Finely mince the garlic and sauté in the skillet until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Mix the lean ground beef with salt, pepper, and finely chopped basil. Form into small meatballs (about 4-5 meatballs).
Add the meatballs to the skillet and cook on all sides until browned, then reduce the heat and simmer until cooked through, approximately 8-10 minutes.
In a separate pan, warm the fresh tomato sauce and add additional basil, salt, and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to enhance the flavors.
Cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve a small amount of pasta water.
Combine the spaghetti with the tomato sauce, adding a splash of pasta water if needed to create a light coating.
Serve the spaghetti topped with the meatballs and garnish with extra fresh basil if desired.
