INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef (90% lean)
1 Egg
1/8 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 cup Whole Wheat Spaghetti (cooked)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 clove Garlic
1/2 tsp Dried Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, egg, whole wheat breadcrumbs, minced garlic, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to incorporate the ingredients without overworking the meat.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Lightly brown the meatballs on all sides for about 4-5 minutes total.
Transfer the meatballs to a baking dish and pour the tomato sauce over them. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through.
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions and drain.
Plate the spaghetti, top with the baked meatballs and spoon extra tomato sauce over the dish. Garnish with additional dried basil if desired.
