Alphabets with Mini Meatballs
Are you embarrassed to admit that you like Spaghetti Os with little meatballs? Now you can make your own anytime you want. The little meatballs can be made from scratch if you like, but I find it easier to use the frozen ones from Costco. You can also use any small pasta or even large pasta, it all tastes the same.
Ingredients
1 pound alphabet shaped pasta
1 pound frozen meatballs
1 (28 ounces) can crushed tomatoes
1 (6 ounces) can tomato paste
3 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon onion flakes
salt and pepper to taste
Parmesan cheese to taste
fresh basil (optional)Directions
Cook pasta according to package instructions. Fully cook meatballs according to package directions. Combine tomatoes, tomato paste and spices in a pan and simmer while the pasta cooks. If using frozen meatballs cut them into fourths to make tiny meatballs. Add to sauce and simmer. When the pasta is done add it to the sauce and heat another minute or two. Serve with Parmesan cheese and sliced fresh basil sprinkled on top. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator and reheat nicely in the microwave.

Note
You may notice that some of our recipes do not contain exact measurements for all ingredients. Cooking on the road is an art more than a science. We view each recipe as only a suggestion - a starting point for your own personal creativity.
We aren't usually dealing with food chemistry in these recipes since we aren't baking with leavening, etc., so feel free to use as much or as little of any suggested ingredient. Be creative and imaginative! Substitute the foods you like or have available for the ones in the recipes. And if you find something that turns out well for you, please share it with the rest of us.
