INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
2 Garlic Cloves
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1 cup Whole Wheat Spaghetti (cooked)
1/2 cup Robust Tomato Sauce
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the lean ground beef, egg, whole wheat breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped fresh basil, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix gently until just combined to avoid tough meatballs.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball, and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs for 15-18 minutes or until they are cooked through and lightly browned.
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the whole wheat spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the robust tomato sauce over medium-low heat. Once warm, you can add a sprinkle of fresh basil if desired.
To serve, toss the cooked spaghetti with the tomato sauce and top with the lean beef meatballs. Garnish with additional fresh basil if you like.
