  • 1 package Big Y classic italian style spaghetti with turkey meatballs

Staples

  • to taste salt
  • 1 teaspoon oil

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add 6 ounces of spaghetti and cook until just tender, about 9 minutes, stirring occasionally so it does not stick.
  2. While the pasta cooks, pour the entire contents of the package into a large skillet with 1 teaspoon of oil over medium-high heat. Stir the meatballs gently into the sauce to warm them through, about 2 minutes.
  3. Drain the pasta, add it to the skillet with the sauce and meatballs, and toss gently to coat. Taste and adjust salt if needed.

Note To stretch this for three, add another two ounces of dried pasta and a splash of water to the sauce. Leftovers keep three days covered in the fridge; reheat gently with a little water. Serve with grated Parmesan and crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
