Spaghetti and Meatballs


When it comes to this recipe keep it simple.  This is a great fast recipe, using store bought meatballs.  We are so busy these days that few of us have time to make homemade meatball I can post a homemade recipe later, but this recipe is for families on the go.  

2 Cans organic diced tomatoes
2 lbs cooked hormone and antibiotic free turkey meatballs
2 Bay leaves
1 1/2 teaspoon dried organic basil
1 teaspoon organic garlic powder
1 teaspoon organic  sugar
1/2 teaspoon  sea salt
1 lb spaghetti noodles with protein and omega-3
1 tablespoon organic olive oil

Directions:  puree the tomatoes, mix ingredients together (except for noodles) and place in crock pot or slow cooker with meatballs.  Put sauce on low and cook for 2 to 3 hours.  You can get this together before you go to pick up the kids and when you are done with after school activities dinner is almost too.  Cook pasta according to directions.  Put a salad together while noodles cook and dinner is served.  This is my families favorite red sauce.  Hope your family likes it as well.  Remember kids like simple.  oh yeah don’t eat the bay leaves.
