Spaghetti and Meatballs
…but it’s not that simple! We made “Turkey Meatballs with Quick and Spicy Tomato Sauce with Whole Wheat Spaghetti” and let me tell you… “quick” is NOT the word I would use to describe our first experience.
Read on for a link to the recipe and pictures of our finished entrée.
It was like we were on Iron Chef! We completely failed at trying to put everything in at the right time. The sauce was done in just 15 minutes and we were in the kitchen for over an hour. It was pretty hectic but what a rush! The salt was flying, the onions made us cry, we were burning ourselves with oil… we didn’t have a cookie sheet so we had to fry the meatballs (which we made with beef – bleh turkey!) But in the end, it was worth all the craziness. The sauce was like a salsa spaghetti sauce, the meatballs were tasty and I actually enjoyed the whole wheat pasta! We also made a loaf of garlic bread. It was exhausting… but worth the good dinner.
