Ingredients

    Cooking Spray
    3 oz. whole-wheat spaghetti or angel hair (or 1 cup or more leftover pasta - I recommend more if it's cooked)
    1/2 pound lean ground turkey or sirloin
    1/2 cup broccoli puree
    1 large egg white
    2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
    2 cloves of garlic, chopped (or equivalent)
    2 cups natural tomato sauce (less if you're using leftover pasta)
    1 cup lowfat cottage cheese
    1/4 cup carrot puree
    1/2 teaspon salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

    Italian herbs
    Onion

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray. Cook pasta if not using leftovers. In a small bowl, mix the ground turkey or sirloin with the broccoli puree, egg white, Parmesan, and garlic. Form the mixture into 1/2-inch balls. In a large bowl, sitr the cooked pasta, tomato sauce, cottage cheese, carrot puree, and salt and pepper. Spoon the mixture into the pie plate and smooth the top. Scatter meatballs on top and sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake, uncovered, until the center is firm and the cheese is bubbly, 25-30 minutes (may take longer).
