INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef
1 cup Whole Wheat Spaghetti (cooked)
1/2 cup Fresh Tomato Sauce
1 Egg White
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/4 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine lean ground beef, egg white, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a walnut.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly brown the meatballs on all sides until they have a nice sear, about 5 minutes total.
Transfer the meatballs to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until fully cooked.
While the meatballs are baking, cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Heat the fresh tomato sauce in a saucepan over low-medium heat. Stir in the remaining basil and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Plate the cooked spaghetti, top with the baked lean beef meatballs, and generously spoon the warm tomato sauce over the dish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
