- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper

Green Salad:
- 4 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1 Lebanese cucumber

- Prepare meatballs by combining beef mince, egg, parsley, garlic and cracked pepper in a large bowl. Using wet hands, roll tablespoons of the mixture into balls.

Stir through basil leaves.
- Meanwhile, place spaghetti in a large saucepan of boiling water and cook for 7-9 minutes or until al dente. Drain and serve spaghetti with meatballs, and salad.
