Spaghetti and Meatballs

Linda Larsen
This simple recipe with just five ingredients makes an entire meal.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 28 oz. jar spaghetti sauce
  • 1-1/2 cups water
  • 1 lb. frozen fully cooked meatballs
  • 2 handfuls spaghetti pasta, broken in half
  • 2 cups cubed cantaloupe
  • 2 cups green grapes

Preparation:

In 12" skillet, combine spaghetti sauce and water and stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Add meatballs and spaghetti. Stir well, making sure spaghetti is under the sauce. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently. You may add more water if the mixture appears to be too dry. Cook until spaghetti is al dente.

Meanwhile, combine cantaloupe and grapes in medium bowl and refrigerate while spaghetti is cooking. (The juice from the cantaloupe creates the dressing.) Serve spaghetti with salad. 4 servings
