INGREDIENTS
3 oz Lean Ground Beef
1 Egg White
1 Tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
2 cloves Minced Garlic
1 medium Fresh Tomato
1/4 small Onion
5 leaves Fresh Basil
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup Whole Wheat Spaghetti (cooked)
1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with cooking oil if needed.
In a bowl, combine lean ground beef, egg white, whole wheat breadcrumbs, 1 minced garlic clove, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until just combined.
Form the mixture into small meatballs (about 4 per serving).
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the meatballs for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until browned on all sides and cooked through.
Meanwhile, prepare the fresh tomato sauce. In another pan, heat olive oil over medium heat, then add the remaining minced garlic and the finely chopped onion. Sauté until the onion softens, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the chopped fresh tomato to the pan and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh basil leaves.
Cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Plate the cooked spaghetti, top with the tomato sauce, and carefully place the tender beef meatballs on top.
Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired and serve warm.
