xp:really easy dinner

I made this tonight and H seemed to like it. plus anything simple to make is always a bonus around here.

1-Make rigatoni or any other tube pasta you like. 

2- in a skillet combine a jar of marinara sauce  with a box of small frozen meatballs (about 12 small meatballs)

3- heat up the meatballs in the marinara sauce

4- once heated stir in 1 cup of ricotta cheese

5- add pasta, stir to coat.

tastes really good and it's pretty simple. I start the sauce/meatballs about 5 minutes before the pasta is ready. Also I cooked the pasta on the lowest time since it cooks a little more when you add it to the sauce.

    I do that! But I usually use rotini noodles. I add the cooked rotini noodles to a glass baking dish with a can of spaghetti sauce and about half a large container of cream cheese, mix, then bake for 15 min at 300. Bonus: Add shredded cheese over top for the last 5 min. I've started adding veggies, but I cant have spaghetti sauce yet because it messes with LO's stomach still. It's a great easy, almost one-dish meal.

    Sounds yummy!  I'm always trying to convince myself to buy ricotta cheese, but never have a reason/recipe to/for it.  Sadly for our a**es, we've been eating quite a bit of pasta dishes lately b/c it's easy & fast.  I'll have to keep this in mind.

    I started to eat the Garden Delight pastas.  They have a serving of vegetables in them.  I figure anything that gets in a couple extra serves can't be all that bad.
