INGREDIENTS
3.5 oz Lean Ground Beef (90% lean)
0.75 cup Whole Wheat Spaghetti, cooked
0.5 cup Tomato Sauce (no salt added)
1 Egg
0.25 cup Onion, chopped
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine lean ground beef, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined to form the meatball mixture.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, roughly 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Gently brown the meatballs on all sides for about 5 minutes to develop a nice sear.
Transfer the browned meatballs into an oven-safe dish. Pour the tomato sauce over the meatballs, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain well.
Plate the spaghetti and top with the meatballs and tomato sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh basil and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty and well-balanced meal.
