INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1 cup chopped Fresh Tomatoes
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 tbsp chopped Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground beef, egg, whole wheat breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
Form the mixture into small meatballs (about 4-5 meatballs per serving). Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until they are cooked through and lightly browned.
While the meatballs are baking, cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the chopped fresh tomatoes for about 5 minutes until they soften. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine the cooked spaghetti with the tomato sauce, and gently fold in the baked meatballs.
Plate your dish and garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving.
