SKINNY SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS

SKINNY SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS

I don’t often make spaghetti and meatballs but I’ve had it on my overcrowded food idea board for a long time now and I may or may not have just gotten tired of looking at it. Know what I mean? One of the advantages of listing your ideas: getting tired of looking at all the things you haven’t done yet which forces you to follow through. And I’m so so glad this recipe actually happened because both Bjork and I could eat it for every meal all week forever. Well, we ARE eating it all week. I made the recipe twice which resulted in at least 900 little containers of skinny spaghetti and meatballs in the fridge waiting to be packed into a lunchbox. SKINNY SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS

The reason of this recipes is skinnier than your average spaghetti and meatballs is because:

-Half of the meatball mixture is chopped veggies.
-The other half of the meatball mixture is lean ground turkey.
-I spy a few whole wheat breadcrumbs, too.
-Unrelated to the meatballs, this is a good time to try low glycemic or gluten free noodles.
-Somebody is going to be ultraskinny and use spaghetti squash in place of the pasta.

INGREDIENTS: SKINNY SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS
SKINNY SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS
1⅓ lbs. lean ground turkey
2 cups minced bell peppers (about 15 mini peppers)
2 large eggs
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
¾ cup Italian seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs
½ teaspoon salt, plus extra salt and pepper
35 ounces super smooth spaghetti sauce (my preference)
16 ounces uncooked spaghetti
fresh minced parsley and additional cheese for topping
SKINNY SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS
INSTRUCTIONS: SKINNY SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS
SKINNY SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep the peppers. Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs and stir until thick and sticky. Add the bell peppers, turkey and salt. Mix with your hands to really get the mixture incorporated.
SKINNY SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS
Roll the mixture into meatballs (I did smaller sized meatballs and I was able to make about 50) and place on a greased baking sheet. They WILL stick and brown on the bottom as they bake. Sprinkle the meatballs generously with salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the baking sheet and set aside.
Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Heat the spaghetti sauce in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the meatballs and some fresh parsley; stir gently and cover. Let the mixture simmer until the noodles are done cooking and the sauce is warmed through. Combine the sauce and noodles directly in the pan, or just scoop the sauce on top. SKINNY SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS
