Refreshing Pasta and Meatballs






So I do not like heavy italain food ie heavy creams, lots of butter, and lots of cheese. I like it simple, tasty, and healthy. I do not have any asian ingedients at the house right now so it has been other dishes that I have made up. This is simple, healthy, and tasty.

Ingredients:
1lb organic ground turkey breast
6 cups of crushed tomato
3 Tbsp Olive Oil
Two sliced yellow squash
Litehouse freeze dried Italain seasoning
2 cloves diced garlic
1 tsp black peper
1 Tbsp sea salt
Italian style bread crumbs with Romano cheese
2 Eggs
Fresh block of asiago cheese
4-6 Hand fulls of cooked whole wheat thin spaghetti noodle

Step 1
Add tomatoes, olive oil, spices, and squash to a sauce pan, simmer for 20 minutes, add sugar, simmmer for another 10 minutes
Cook noodles, do not make a full 1lb box, that will be too much noodle not enough sauce

Step 2
In mixing bowl add eggs, 1/2 bread crumbs, and turkey, mix all together well, make sure that the meat mixture is firm but not too much bread crumb, ground turkey breast is low in fats and if you use too much bread crumbs it will suck up alot of the natural moisture. Roll into balls and place in olive oil, cook on medium until meat balls are cooked thoroughly. Use meat thermometer to test inside temp 170-180 degrees F

Step 3
Mix drained pasta with sauce, meat balls, and shave fresh asiago cheese on top, eat with a salad or by itself.

Very hardy and great for you.
Good Eating!!!
