INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Beef (90% lean)
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1/2 cup Fresh Tomato Sauce
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Garlic clove
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the extra virgin olive oil.
Finely mince the garlic and sauté it in the oil until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
Mix the lean ground beef with a pinch of salt, pepper, and chopped basil. Form the mixture into small meatballs.
Place the meatballs in the skillet and cook them, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through.
In a separate saucepan, warm the fresh tomato sauce. Add a little minced garlic and basil if desired, letting it simmer gently.
Meanwhile, prepare the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve a small splash of pasta water.
Combine the cooked spaghetti with the tomato sauce; if needed, add a bit of pasta water to help coat the pasta evenly.
Plate the sauced spaghetti and top with the lean beef meatballs. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
