INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
1 oz Whole Wheat Spaghetti (dry)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 large Egg White
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1/4 small Onion
2 tbsp Fresh Basil & Parsley (chopped)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a bowl, combine lean ground beef, egg white, chopped garlic, finely diced onion, salt, pepper, and half of the chopped basil and parsley. Mix gently until ingredients are just combined.
Form the mixture into small meatballs and gently press a piece of mozzarella into the center of each for a melty surprise.
Place the meatballs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for about 15-18 minutes until cooked through.
While the meatballs are baking, cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté any leftover garlic and onion for extra flavor if desired, then add tomato sauce and the remaining basil and parsley. Simmer for 5 minutes and season with salt and pepper.
Toss the cooked spaghetti with the warm tomato sauce, then top with the baked meatballs.
Serve immediately and enjoy a balanced and flavorful meal.
