When I don't have enough time to make spaghetti sauce from scratch, I dress up a store-bought jar with fresh vegetables and frozen meatballs, says Mary Ann Kosmas of Minneapolis, Minnesota. A touch of wine makes it special. Ingredients:
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms |
1 large green pepper, julienned |
1 large onion, halved and sliced |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/4 cup red wine or water |
1 jar (26 ounces) meatless spaghetti sauce |
1 package (12 ounces) frozen fully cooked italian meatballs, thawed |
hot cooked spaghetti |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, saute the mushrooms, green pepper and onion in oil until crisp-tender; stir in wine or water. Bring to a boil; cook for 2 minutes. Stir in spaghetti sauce and meatballs. Return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes or until meatballs are heated through.
2. Serve meatballs and sauce with spaghetti. Yield: 4 servings.
