INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
1 oz Whole Wheat Spaghetti (dry)
1/2 cup Fresh Tomato Sauce
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a bowl, combine lean ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped basil, and one minced garlic clove. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
Heat one teaspoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the meatballs until browned on all sides, approximately 5 minutes.
Pour the fresh tomato sauce over the meatballs and drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, ensuring the meatballs are cooked through.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Combine the cooked spaghetti with the meatballs and sauce, mixing gently to coat evenly.
Finish with a sprinkle of fresh basil and serve warm.
