Suggestions:

Meatballs can be put on skewers and barbecued or grilled. Try using lean beef mince in place of chicken for a tasty alternative.

Ingredients:

400 g chicken mince

3 spring onions, thinly sliced

1 garlic clove

2 Tbsp parsley, freshed, chopped

0.67 cup oats, rolled

1/3 cup sultanas

2 egg whites, lightly beaten

1/4 cup flour, plain

2 Tbsp bran flakes

1 cooking oil spray

2 L water

250 g spinach fettuccine

200 g yogurt, plain, non-fat

1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice

2 Tbsp mint, fresh, chopped

Directions:

Combine chicken, onions, garlic, parsley, oats, sultanas and
one egg white in a bowl and mix well.

Shape into small balls about 3.5 cm in diameter. Roll each
ball in flour and shake off the excess.

Dip in lightly beaten egg white and then bran flakes.
Lightly spray with cooking oil and then bake on an oven tray
lined with baking paper in a moderate oven 180*C for 8 to 10
minutes or until cooked.

While the meatballs are cooking prepare the pasta. Bring
water and the oil to a boil in a large saucepan. Gradually add
pasta and gently boil until just cooked. Drain and serve with
meatballs and yogurt sauce.

Prepare the yogurt sauce by combining the yogurt, juice, mint
and pepper.
