INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1/2 cup Fresh Tomato Sauce
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 clove Fresh Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a medium bowl, combine lean ground beef, egg white, whole wheat breadcrumbs, a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until just combined to form the meatball mixture.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
While the meatballs are baking, heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the fresh tomato sauce and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and chopped fresh basil to adjust the flavor.
Prepare the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions if not already cooked, then drain.
Serve the meatballs over the spaghetti and spoon the fresh tomato sauce on top. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
