Turkey and Beef Meatballs with Whole-Wheat Spaghetti

Preheat oven to 400 ºF.

In a 4-quart saucepan, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil over high heat.

Add pasta, and cook according to package directions. Drain.

Meanwhile, combine ingredients for the turkey and beef meatballs in separate bowls, and mix well. Measure 1½ tablespoons of turkey mixture and roll in hand to form a ball; then place the meatball on a nonstick baking sheet. Repeat, and follow same instruction for beef mixture, until eight turkey and eight beef meatballs are made.

Bake meatballs on a nonstick baking sheet for 10 minutes (to a minimal internal temperature of 165 °F).

Warm sauce, if necessary.

Serve four meatballs, ¾ cup hot pasta, ½ cup sauce, 1 teaspoon cheese, and a pinch of basil per portion.
