INGREDIENTS

5 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 large egg

0.5 cup marinara sauce

1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

1 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, egg, minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, black pepper, and grated parmesan cheese.

• 3

  Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat which ensures a tender texture.

• 4

  Roll the mixture into small, uniform meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

• 5

  Bake the meatballs for 12-15 minutes until they are cooked through and have a light golden exterior.

• 6

  While the meatballs roast, bring a large pot of filtered water to a rolling boil and cook the sourdough spaghetti until al dente.

• 7

  In a small saucepan, gently warm the marinara sauce over medium-low heat until it begins to simmer.

• 8

  Drain the cooked spaghetti and immediately toss it with the warm marinara sauce to coat every strand.

• 9

  Plate the pasta and top with the hot meatballs, finishing with an extra sprinkle of herbs if desired.
