Mom’s Meatball Meal

1. In a medium bowl, combine the egg whites, bread crumbs, onion, garlic powder, pepper, and ground meat. Mix well and form into small meatballs. Brown meatballs in a lightly greased skillet over medium heat until cooked through. Meanwhile, prepare pasta according to package directions.

2. Add spaghetti sauce, mushrooms, and spinach (you can use a box of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained, if desired) to the meatballs. Add water if necessary and saute until mushrooms are soft and spinach is wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

3. Drain pasta and add to the meatball mixture. Add cheese. Cover. Turn heat to low and allow cheese to melt. Stir and serve.
