INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
2 oz Whole Wheat Spaghetti (dry)
1/2 cup Crushed Tomatoes (No Salt Added)
1/4 cup Fresh Basil (chopped)
1 Garlic Clove
1/4 cup Onion (chopped)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a bowl, combine the lean ground beef with the minced garlic, chopped onion, a pinch of salt and pepper, and dried oregano.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, ensuring they are evenly sized.
Place the meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the crushed tomatoes and let simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the fresh basil and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Add the baked meatballs into the marinara sauce and let simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes so the flavors meld.
Serve the meatballs and marinara sauce over the cooked whole wheat spaghetti. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
