INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Beef (90/10)
1 oz Whole Wheat Spaghetti (dry)
1/2 cup Fresh Tomato Sauce
1 large Egg White
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 small Onion
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine lean ground beef, egg white, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until ingredients are evenly combined.
Shape the mixture into small, uniform meatballs.
Place the meatballs on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
While the meatballs are baking, cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente.
In a small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat and add additional minced garlic (if desired) until fragrant. Add the fresh tomato sauce and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix in chopped fresh basil towards the end of simmering.
Drain the cooked spaghetti and serve on a plate. Top with baked meatballs and spoon the warm tomato sauce over everything.
Garnish with extra basil if desired and enjoy your balanced meal.
