INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Chicken
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1/2 cup Robust Tomato Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
2 tbsp Parsley, chopped
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a bowl, combine lean ground chicken with minced garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper, and half of the chopped basil and parsley.
Gently form the chicken mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they are cooked through and lightly browned.
While the meatballs bake, heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and add the remaining garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato sauce, remaining basil, and parsley. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes to develop robust flavors.
Prepare whole wheat spaghetti according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
To assemble, serve the meatballs over a bed of spaghetti and spoon the tomato sauce generously on top.
Finish with an additional sprinkle of fresh parsley and a crack of black pepper before serving.
