INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1 medium Fresh Tomato, diced
1/4 medium Onion, finely chopped
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground beef with half of the minced garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Gently form into small meatballs.
Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until cooked through.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until softened and translucent.
Add the remaining garlic and diced fresh tomato to the skillet, cooking until the tomatoes start breaking down into a sauce, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the chopped basil, season with salt and pepper, and let the sauce simmer for another 2 minutes.
Prepare the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions and drain.
Combine the spaghetti with the fresh tomato sauce and gently toss to coat evenly.
Plate the spaghetti and top with the baked lean beef meatballs. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired and serve warm.
