INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Beef (90% lean)
1 oz Whole Wheat Spaghetti (Dry)
1 medium Roma Tomato
1 small Onion
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt (pinch)
Black Pepper (pinch)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground beef with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Form the beef into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.
Place the meatballs on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until they are cooked through and lightly browned.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions in boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
For the tomato sauce, finely dice the roma tomato, small onion, and mince the garlic cloves. In a small pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Sauté the onion and garlic in the olive oil for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the diced tomato and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Stir in the fresh basil leaves at the end of the simmering process to preserve their flavor.
Serve the lean beef meatballs over a bed of whole wheat spaghetti and top with the fresh tomato sauce.
Enjoy your healthy and satisfying meal!
