Leftovers - Baked Turkey Meatballs and Rotini Pasta w/ Baked Multi Grain Bread

Dinner Tonight:Leftovers - Baked Turkey Meatballs and Rotini Pasta w/ Baked Multi Grain Bread






To start the morning of I made some Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, Heated up some Meijer Diced Ham, fried an Egg Sunnyside Up, made a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. I made a bed of the Hashbrowns in a bow and sprinkled some Sargento Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese.

Next I put the Diced Ham over top the Hash Browns then put the Sunnyside Up Egg on to top it off. Well the rain has finally let up around here but there's a lot of local flooding and the Ohio River is way over it's banks. After Breakfast I headed up to the local Kroger to pick up a couple of items. Then stopped by McDonald's and picked up Breakfast for Mom and Dad. Mom went on to Church and stayed home and kept an eye on Dad. Did a couple of loads of laundry while she was gone. After Mom got back I had Lunch and then headed out to Walmart and Meijer to check out prices for Wood Chips and Weed Killer Fertilizer. Getting ready for Spring! I'll check out Menard's and Home Depot tomorrow. For Dinner tonight its Leftovers - Baked Turkey Meatballs and Rotini Pasta w/ Baked Multi Grain Bread. I heated up the leftovers from last night's meal. I also left the original post from yesterday for directions and ingredients of the dish.



You can make any Meal healthier by using healthier ingredients. That includes Meatballs and Pasta! I’ll be using Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs Kroger finally started having these back in stock!

The Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs are some of the best I’ve found, fantastic taste and they’re 190 calories and 6 carbs for 3 large Meatballs. For the Sauce I’m using LaRosa’s Original Pasta Sauce. Then for the Rotini Pasta I’ll be using Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Grain Rotini. For the added Cheese topping I’m using Sargento Off the Block Mozzarella Cheese and Kraft Reduced Fat Grated Parmesan Cheese. The Bread is River Road Bakehouse Multi Grain Bread. I’ve been buying this from Meijer the last few months and it’s our favorite Baked Bread.






I first turned the oven on to 400 degrees. As I said, for the Meatballs I’m using my favorite,
Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs. Kroger finally started having these back in stock! The Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs are some of the best I’ve found, fantastic taste and they’re 190 calories and 6 carbs for 3 large Meatballs.










I’ll be cooking them in LaRosa’s Original Pasta Sauce, one of my favorites! The Sauce goes great on Pasta, Pizza, or as a Dipping sauce. I grabbed a Sauce Pan, sprayed it Pam Cooking Spray, added the Sauce to it, and heated on medium low heat. As the Sauce started to heat up I added the Turkey Meatballs, stirred until covered with the Sauce. Cooked them for about 7 minutes and then reduced the heat to low until I was ready to use them.







For the Rotini Pasta I’m using my favorite, Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Grain Rotini. Easy to prepare; I used a large sauce pan and added 1 1/2 quarts of water and Salt and brought it to a rapid boil. Added the Pasta and brought it back to a boil. Cooked uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring often. Drained the Pasta and put it into the Baking Dish. Then Seasoned the Rotini with 2 teaspoons of Extra Light Olive Oil, some McCormick Grinder Italian Seasoning, and Kraft Grated Reduced Fat Parmesan Cheese.






Next I topped the Rotini with the LaRosa’s Sauce and Turkey Meatballs. Sprinkled more of the Grated Parm Cheese followed by a layer of Sargento Mozzarella Cheese. The oven was preheated at 400 degrees so it was ready to bake. As the Past Dish was baking I also baked a loaf of RiverRoad Bake House Multi Grain Oval Loaf Bread.










The Meatballs and Rotini came out incredible! The Turkey Meatballs, Rotini Pasta, Cheese, and
Sauce combined to make one delicious Dish! Plus Mom and Dad both enjoyed it. Neither is big on Pasta but had 2 servings of it!. For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.
