Tender chicken meatballs in savory tomato sauce, paired with spaghetti.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (16 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (8 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 3 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
  • 2.25 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 pounds ground chicken
  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 (16 ounce) package whole-wheat spaghetti
Instructions:
  • Combine crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, water, and basil in a large saucepan. Season with salt and pepper. Boil, then simmer on low for 15 minutes while preparing meatballs.
  • Combine ground chicken, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Shape into 1-inch balls. Heat a skillet over medium heat, spray with cooking spray, and cook meatballs until golden brown all over. Transfer meatballs to simmering pasta sauce and cook until they reach an internal temperature of at least 160°F (72°C), approximately 30 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 12 minutes. Drain and serve with meatballs and sauce.
