Ingredients
1lb extra lean ground beef4 pieces whole wheat toast well toasted2 egg whitesgarlic and pepper to taste4 bell peppers 1jar tomato sauce1 13.25 oz box healthy harvest fusilli
Directions
crumble toast in a bowl with ground beef. Add egg whits and seasoning. Our family likes a little spice so I add one fresh diced jalapeno. shape into 16 little balls and put on cookie sheet sprayed with olive oil. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes or until no longer pink in the middle.

While the meat cooks I boil the pasta and start to grilling the bell peppers.

Cut the peppers into strips and cook in a pam coated pan until softened but still with a bit of crunch. Add tomato sauce and warm up.

Top pasta with meatballs then top it all off with the tomato sauce. Makes 8 servings each with two meatballs.
