Pasta & Meatless Meatballs

Here's a very quick and easy version of your traditional spaghetti and meatballs recipe.. but you can make it with any pasta.. and here I've subbed with vegan meatballs of course. Tasty and cruelty-free :)





Ingredients

Box of pasta of your choice (I always prefer whole wheat of any variety)
Package of meatless meatballs (Try Trader Joe's)
Jar of dairy-free marinara sauce (check ingredients label)
Salt
Pepper
Tablespoon of garlic
Fresh basil (optional)
¼-½ of an onion, chopped (optional)

Directions

Boil a large pot of water and cook pasta until well done. Follow package instructions for meatballs, or better yet, to absorb some more flavors, cook in a saucepan on the stove for 15 minutes in marinara sauce with spices, garlic, basil, and chopped onions. If you're in a rush to make dinner, you can nuke meatballs in microwave for about 4 minutes (check package instructions as different brands tend to vary). Drain pasta when done, and combine pasta, meatballs, sauce onions if you choose, and spices in a large serving bowl. Enjoy!
