INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef (95% lean)
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Spaghetti
2 medium Fresh Tomatoes
2 Garlic Cloves
4 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 large Egg White
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef with one egg white, a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix gently and form into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.
Place the meatballs on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes until cooked through.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to boil and cook whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
For the marinara sauce, finely dice fresh tomatoes and mince garlic. In a small skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, then add the tomatoes.
Allow the tomatoes to simmer for about 8-10 minutes to break down into a sauce; add fresh basil, salt, and pepper to taste.
Combine the cooked spaghetti with the fresh marinara sauce and gently fold in the baked meatballs.
Plate the dish and garnish with additional fresh basil if desired. Serve warm.
