Smart Spaghetti & Meatballs

Wow these were good! I made minor changes, so only gave it four stars but if you want a basic meatball recipe, it will work as is. I wanted more of an Italian flavor, so added a teaspoon each of dried basil, oregano, and fennel seed, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. I also sprinkled Parmesan cheese on top before baking. They were delicious! I worried that the meat wouldn't hold together because it seemed like a lot of spinach, but it was fine. Definitely going on the favorites list.

They turned out great even with ground turkey. My new go-to meatball recipe that even my kids will eat!

I make this recipe quite a bit. It's very easy and doesn't use unusual ingredients. I use the 100% whole grain noodles too. You can feel good about this dinner.

When I saw this recipe had spinach in the meatballs I knew I had to try it. And boy am I glad I did! These were the best meatballs ever, and I even screwed up and used plain dry bread crumbs rather than the seasoned. The only complaint I had was I probably will use a bigger jar of sauce next time, because I needed a tad more, but that might be because I was too lazy to try and figure out what a half pound of spaghetti noodles was, and the box I used was 13.25 ounces or something, and that may have been too much. If I'd had more sauce it would have been plenty. But I love, love, love these meatballs.

VERY GOOD -- TO SAVE ON CALORIES AND CARBS, I SERVE MINE ON SPAGHETTI SQUASH...DELISH

Very easy and full of flavor. I really like having spinach in the mix. Used a small ice cream scoop to help make the meatballs more uniform.

You can substitute applesauce for the egg

Made it for supper. Delicious! I will make it again.

Very good recipe! My whole family loved it! Will make again soon.

This is a VERY easy recipe to make, and even more delicious! Next time I will add a bit more seasoning to the meat. Instead of using noodles, I put the meatballs over zucchini noodles, and it was amazing!
