One Pot Pasta and Meatballs

Months ago I shared an amazing recipe for one pot pasta. It was a life changing dish for me. It was so wonderful to have dinner on the table in under 30 minutes and basically only have one dirty dish. Well, today I have an even more simplified version of the dish for you – One Pot Pasta and Meatballs.
This version uses 5 ingredients and unlike the other dish, it includes meat – more specifically meatballs. Since this dish only uses 5 ingredients, I recommend using quality ingredients. I used both the sauce and meatballs from Sam’s Club. It was a hit with the family. Glad to be able to ad this to my arsenal of recipes and share it with all of you.
