INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
1 large Egg White
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1/2 cup Fresh Tomato Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
5 Fresh Basil leaves
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground beef and egg white. Mince the garlic finely and add it along with chopped fresh basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined to form the meatball mixture.
Shape the mixture into small, uniform meatballs. Place them on a lightly greased baking tray.
Bake the meatballs in the oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they are cooked through and slightly browned on the outside.
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the fresh tomato sauce. In a small saucepan, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add a further minced garlic clove if desired, then stir in the fresh tomato sauce. Allow it to simmer for 5 minutes to meld the flavors. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Prepare whole wheat spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
To serve, plate the spaghetti, top with baked meatballs, and generously spoon the warm tomato sauce over the top. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
