INGREDIENTS
120g Lean Ground Beef
1 large Egg White (33g)
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Spaghetti (140g)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (120g)
1/4 medium Onion (25g)
1 clove Garlic (3g)
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F if you prefer to bake the meatballs, or prepare a skillet for stovetop cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, egg white, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix gently until just combined to keep the meatballs tender.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.
If baking, place the meatballs on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes until cooked through. Alternatively, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a light drizzle of olive oil, and cook the meatballs, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Warm the tomato sauce in a small saucepan. Season further with salt and pepper to taste, and let simmer for 5 minutes for flavors to meld.
Plate the spaghetti, top with the meatballs, and generously drizzle with the rich tomato sauce.
Garnish with additional oregano or fresh basil if desired, and serve warm.
