Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush with 1 tsp oil. Mash the lentils in a bowl with the back of a fork to break down a bit, but not completely. Stir in the pork, rosemary, mustard, garlic, some pepper to generously season, and mix well with the fork to distribute the lentils evenly. Divide the mixture into 4. Form each quarter into 5 small balls - to give you 20 in total - squeezing the mixture together well as you shape it. Lay the meatballs on the foil and roll them around in the oil to coat all over. Bake for 15 mins until cooked and lightly browned. Remove (leave the oven on) and set aside.
- While the meatballs cook, heat 2 tsp of the oil for the sauce in a large non-stick frying pan. Tip in the shallots and garlic, and fry on a medium heat for 3-4 mins until softened and tinged brown. Pour in the remaining 1 tsp oil, lay the tomatoes in the pan so most of them are cut-side down (to help release the juices), raise the heat and fry them for 3-4 mins or until the tomatoes are starting to soften and release their juices. Don't stir, or they may lose their shape. Splash in 125-150ml water so it all bubbles, and gently mix in the tomato purée. Lower the heat and simmer for 2 mins to create a juicy, chunky sauce. Season with the chilli flakes, oregano, pepper and a pinch of salt, and give it a quick stir, adding a drop more water if needed - you want it thick enough to coat the meatballs.
- Pour the sauce into a casserole dish, add the meatballs and spoon the sauce over them to coat. Cover with foil and bake for 10 mins while you cook the spaghetti.
- Boil a large saucepan of water. Add the spaghetti, stir and bring back to the boil. Cook for 10-12 mins, or following pack instructions, until al dente. Drain well, season with pepper and serve with the meatballs, sauce and a light sprinkling of oregano.

LOW CALORIE / LOW FAT MEATBALLS
I'm pretty sure I trimmed this recipe down to the bare minimum, but it tastes great and they hold together well! I made my bread crumbs from low-cal whole wheat bread, which makes the recipe even (just a bit) leaner than the analysis. I modified this from a recipe that I found on Cooks.com.

SIMPLE LOW FAT MEATBALLS.
I got this recipe from a Women's Health magazine. They suggest you add Cajun seasoning to these since they are supposed to be an appetizer. Also, their nutritional information is that these have 20 calories each, .5 fat grams, and 3 grams of protein. Not a significant source of sodium, carbs, or fiber.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.

- In a blender, add all ingredients and pulse about 16 times until well mixed and evenly ground.
- Roll into 32 meatballs.
- Place on baking pan and spritz with Olive oil.
- Bake for about 10 minutes or until juices run clear and they are no longer pink.
- **Note: I am saying this makes 32 servings for nutritional ease of understanding. However, I would say if people eat about four each, then you would really get 8 servings.
