INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 medium Onion, finely chopped
1 Garlic Clove, minced
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground beef with the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix gently until ingredients are just incorporated to form a uniform mixture.
Shape the beef mixture into small meatballs, about 1-inch in diameter. Place the meatballs on a lightly greased baking tray.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until cooked through and lightly browned.
While the meatballs are baking, heat the tomato sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the chopped fresh basil. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
To assemble, plate the cooked spaghetti, top with baked meatballs, and generously spoon over the warm, zesty tomato sauce.
Garnish with additional basil if desired, and serve immediately.
