0.5 cup Fresh Marinara Sauce
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Basil
0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.

Form the beef mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
Place the meatballs on a lightly greased baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through.
While the meatballs are baking, cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
In a small saucepan, warm the marinara sauce over low heat.
Drain the pasta and plate it, then top with the baked meatballs and a generous spoonful of warm marinara sauce.
Garnish with extra fresh basil if desired and serve immediately.
