Ingredients:

Serving

8 oz spaghetti, uncooked
32 italian-style frozen, precooked meatballs, divided
1 (26-oz.) jar fire-roasted tomato garlic pasta sauce, divided
2 tbsp coarsely chopped kalamata olives
1 tbsp capers
2 tsp anchovy paste
1 tsp bottled minced garlic
1/2 tsp dried crushed red pepper
1/2 tsp dried basil
1 lemon wedge, seeded
shredded parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions:

Cook spaghetti according to package directions; drain.
Meanwhile, combine half the meatballs, two-thirds of the pasta sauce, and next 6 ingredients in a medium saucepan. Squeeze juice from lemon wedge into sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Combine remaining meatballs and pasta sauce in a glass bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; fold back a small edge to allow steam to escape. Microwave at HIGH 1 1/2 minutes or until hot.
To serve, divide spaghetti evenly among 4 serving plates. For plain servings, spoon microwaved sauce over 2 portions. For grown-up servings, spoon seasoned sauce over remaining 2 portions. Sprinkle all 4 portions with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Shopping Note: Anchovy paste is typically located near canned tuna and anchovies. After opening, store it in the refrigerator up to 6 months.
