1/3 cup quick oats

2 tbsp sodium-free Italian seasoning, divided

Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment. Drain the spinach very well and lightly squeeze out excess liquid. In a large bowl, combine spinach, garlic, turkey, oats, 1 tbsp Italian seasoning, and egg. Season with salt and pepper. Form mixture into about 24 (1½-inch) balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake meatballs 10–12 min., turning meatballs halfway through cooking time, until almost cooked through.
2
To a Dutch oven, add the tomato sauce and remaining 1 tbsp Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer on medium-high. Add baked meatballs and simmer 10 min., until meatballs are fully cooked.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions. Serve meatballs and sauce over pasta and sprinkle with the Parmesan, if desired.
