INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef
1 cup Whole Wheat Spaghetti (cooked)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/8 medium Onion, finely chopped
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F if you wish to bake the meatballs, or heat a large skillet over medium heat for pan-frying.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Gently mix the ingredients and form them into small meatballs, aiming for uniform size for even cooking.
For oven-baked: Place the meatballs on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes until cooked through. For pan-fried: Cook the meatballs in the heated skillet, turning occasionally to ensure they brown evenly, about 10-12 minutes.
While the meatballs are cooking, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add whole wheat spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until slightly bubbling.
Plate the cooked spaghetti, arrange the meatballs on top, and generously spoon the robust marinara sauce over the dish.
Garnish with an extra sprinkle of Italian seasoning if desired, and serve immediately.
