Meatball Fettucine

11/6/2011

We don’t often put “meatball” and “Fettuccini” in the same sentence. They don’t seem to go together. Here at “Meals We Steal” though, we’re masters at mixing and matching,
trying something new that’s easy and can be replicated to serve your family quickly. That’s how this recipe came about.

We keep a large package of frozen meatballs from Costco in our freezer. They’re awesome!  Great to make Italian subs.  Excellent for  meatball spaghetti.  More than that, you can use them simply in other dishes.

All our kids love Fettuccini. I got to thinking, “How can I mix it up a bit and make something
new.”  Meatballs came to mind.  So I set out.

Get a 16 oz. package of Fettuccini noodles. Boil them up. Put 15-20 meatballs in a bowl, and microwave them.  Buy some ready-made Fettuccini sauce in a jar and heat it up in a pan. 
That’s the basic start.  How do we add something extra?

The answer to this is also pretty simple.  Grab some fresh mushrooms and onions, a thin bunch of asparagus, and a small bag of grated parmesan cheese.  Sautee the mushrooms and
onions together.  Steam the asparagus for ten minutes (cut off the last inch or so of the round
end).

Pull off the Fettuccini when fully boiled.  Dump in a large bowl.  Put the meatballs on top.  Toss in the sautéed mushrooms and onions and Fettuccini sauce and asparagus. Mix, then put all the ingredients back in large skillet and warm it up together.  Give it a couple of minutes, then sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the mixture when you serve it.

Make a crisp salad with some bread from the oven, and you have a spectacularly tasty and original meal in 15 minutes.  It’s good for you, and yummy.  Try it.
