Noom - Low-Fat Italian Spaghetti and Meatballs

This recipe takes some time so I will say that in advance. It has a lot of ingredients and most are whole wheat or healthier so it does take a second to adjust to it, Jace and I both really liked it. I used onion powder instead of onions, The Social Distancer instead of garlic and parsley, used whole wheat spaghetti noodles and breadcrumbs, and monkfruit in replace of sugar. I also removed the salt.

Ingredients:
1 tbsp onion powder
2 tbsp The Social Distancer (garlic, chili flakes, basil, parsley, and salt) from Pinch Spice Market
2/3 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
1/4 cup milk (preferably fat free)
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground turkey
2 tsp olive oil
2 can tomato sauce
1 can diced tomatoes
2 tbsp monkfruit
2 tbsp Italian Seasoning (for the sauce)
12oz whole wheat spaghetti noodles

Directions:
Coat a large pan with nonstick spray. In a bowl, add the onion powder and Social Distancer, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, and Italian Seasoning (2tsp). 

Shape into 12 meatballs. Set the large pan on the stove on medium heat. Add the meatballs turning often, for about 5 minutes or until well-browned. 

In the same pan, add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes with juice, monkfruit, Italian Seasoning (2tbsp) and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally for 20-25 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through. 

In the meantime, make the pasta according to package directions. Top with sauce and meatballs. Enjoy! 

I served mine with one garlic bread (instead of my usual two).
