WW Spaghetti & Chicken Meatballs, is a family favorite that's lower in fat and calories than traditional spaghetti and meatballs, but just as delicious.
To make the meatballs, in a large bowl gently mix together the chicken, eggs, bread crumbs, Parmesan and salt until well blended. With lightly moistened hands, form the mixture into 18 meatballs (about 1-½ inch in diameter).
Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, 6-8 minutes. Transfer the meatballs to a plate.
Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the skillet. Add the onion, garlic, and basil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to soften, 2-3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and tomato paste and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
Add the meatballs, cover and simmer until the meatballs are cooked through, 8-10 minutes longer.
Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to the package directions.
Divide the spaghetti among 6 bowls; top evenly with the meatballs and sauce.
