INGREDIENTS
3 oz Lean Ground Beef (93% lean)
1 large Egg
1/8 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
2 cloves Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, egg, whole wheat breadcrumbs, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are just combined to form the meatball mixture.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, roughly the size of a golf ball.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the meatballs on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the seared meatballs to a baking sheet and finish cooking them in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
While the meatballs are baking, heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan and stir in chopped fresh basil for added flavor.
Prepare the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Combine the cooked spaghetti with the heated marinara sauce and gently toss.
Serve the meatballs over a bed of sauced spaghetti, garnished with extra basil if desired.
