I love Spaghetti & Meatballs.... with a twist. Pasta can be so bad for you. But, this recipe makes it good for you with Fat Free Ground Turkey and Whole Wheat Pasta.
1 lb. of Ground Turkey
1 cup of shreadded low-fat Mozzarella Cheese
Half cup Whole Wheat Wrap/Pita/Bread crumbs
1 beaten egg
3 teaspoons of Worcestershire
1 teaspoon of minced garlic
Salt & Pepper to Taste
Whole Wheat Spaghetti
Your Favorite Red Pasta Sauce (My Fav. is Prego)
Preheat oven to 425 degree and boil a large pot of water for the spaghetti -add a few sprinkles of salt to your water to season your pasta.
In a large bowl, add turkey, cheese, bread crumbs, egg, worcestershire, garlic and salt and pepper and hand mix ingredients together (it's okay, get your fingers dirty and mince it all together with your hands). Roll golf sized meatballs and place about 12 on a greased cookie sheet.... normally I can get about two full batched of meatballs with this recipe. Bake meatballs for about 10 minutes.
While meatballs are baking, start heating up your red sauce in a large pan (make sure this pan has room for all of your red sauce and your meatballs). Your spaghetti water is probably boiling now, if so... add your pasta and cook. I find that whole wheat pasta takes a little longer to cook -although the box says 10-12 minutes, I always cook it for at least 15 minutes then drain.
As your meatball batches are done, transfer them right from the cookie sheet to your red sauce. Continue to heat your red sauce until bubbly, then your done!
