INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Beef (93% lean)
0.75 cup Whole Wheat Spaghetti, cooked
0.5 cup Marinara Sauce
1 Egg
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Bread Crumbs
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
2 Garlic cloves
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground beef, egg, whole wheat bread crumbs, chopped fresh parsley, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Mix the ingredients gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, approximately golf ball size, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the meatballs for 15-20 minutes or until they are cooked through and lightly browned.
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the whole wheat spaghetti according to the package directions until al dente.
In a small saucepan, warm the marinara sauce over medium heat. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Plate the cooked spaghetti, top with the baked meatballs, and spoon the fresh marinara sauce over the top.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
