Turkey Meatballs

Ingredients:

Ground lean turkey meat (1 roll)
1 egg
2 garlic cloves
chopped parsley
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup bread crumbs (italian)
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
dash of salt/pepper

Sauce:
Spaghetti sauce packet
tomato sauce
chopped parsley
fresh leaf spinach
1/4 cup drained pasta water

Mix all the meatball ingredients together and form into balls. I suggest cooking these on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper to reduce sticking.
Cook in oven for about 8 minutes at 400. Then flip the meatballs and cook another 5 minutes.
They can be cooked a little less if you plan to add them to the sauce for a bit.
Make sure they are cooked through and not pink!!!

After they are fully cooked, add them to the sauce and let sit in the marinade until ready to serve over pasta.

Top with shredded parmesan!

ENJOY!!

Lunch

Yummy pasta!

Ingredients:

• 4 whole mushrooms, sliced
• 1 small can of tomato sauce
• italian seasoning 
• fresh spinach, roughly chopped
• dash of salt, pepper
• 2 tbsp of diced red onion
• 2 cups Pasta ( I chose veggie shells)
• olive oil
• garlic
• diced tomatoes optional

Simmer mushrooms and spinach in a drizzle of olive oil until mushrooms are slightly brown.
Add salt, pepper and onions. Cook until onions are translucent. Add garlic last, cook for 1 min on low.
Simmer tomato sauce for 1 min. Add cooked/drained pasta and sprinkle with italian seasoning. (Do not over cook seasoning or garlic or else sauce will be bitter).

Instead of making a sauce, buy your favorite sauce at the store.
When I do not feel like being extra cautious about accidentally making the sauce bitter, I "kick up" the flavor of the store bought sauce with fresh spinach, garlic powder and sautéed mushrooms.
