Meatballs and Spaghetti

Written By: Chris - Apr• 04•12

This dish was inspired because I was thinking of what the kids would like when they recently were coming over for a Sunday dinner… I always try to come up with something different and we all enjoy meatballs and Spaghetti.  We all like the flavor of ground beef, but I try to “lighten it up” by combining it with ground turkey for less fat and calories.  This is a simple recipe!  It was very tasty and even healthy!  🙂   Coincidentally, this was the same dinner that we enjoyed with the light bread pudding dofus herunterladen!

We enjoyed this dish over spaghetti pasta, (Bill and I had “spinach” pasta, which is wonderful!) with a side of garlic butter toast (for those not watching their Weight Watchers Points), a salad and french green beans!  I started with a prepared spaghetti sauce and “doctored” it up to keep things simple yet Delicious Download minigames for free!
