Spaghetti and Meatballs

Dinner Tonight: Spaghetti and Meatballs





To start the day I toasted a couple of Eggo Waffles and had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. After Breakfast I went to the local Kroger up the road, for a few items I needed. Warmer this morning than it's been in a while, 47 degrees. But showers most of the day and into the mid 50's. Did a few chores around the house and then went up to spend the afternoon with Dad. Back home, for dinner tonight I prepared Spaghetti and Meatballs.





It seems like forever since I’ve made Spaghetti and Meatballs and it really sounded good for Dinner
tonight! To make it I’m using my favorite, Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Wheat Spaghetti. Cooks up great and an excellent tasting Pasta. It’s 180 calories and 35 net carbs per serving. Then for my Meatballs I used Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs. The Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs are good size, meaty, and have a fantastic taste and their 190 calories and 5 net carbs for 3 Meatballs. For my Pasta Sauce I used Ragu Mushroom Sauce and topped with some Kroger Private Selection Shaved Parmesan Cheese.





To prepare the dish; I cooked the Spaghetti as to the package instructions. In a sauce pan I add my
Meatballs and Ragu Sauce, heated on medium low until heated through. In a large bowl I added the finished Spaghetti, the Sauce and Meatballs and mixed and served. Topped the Spaghetti with the Shaved Parmesan Cheese.







I also prepared some Baked Cheesy Bread. Another easy one, using Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread,
Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Mozzarella Cheese, and I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. Just Butter the Bread and add your Cheese on top. Then bake on 400 degrees until the Bread is toasted and Cheese is melted. For Dessert later a Weight Watcher's Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Bars.

One of America's Favorites - Spaghetti and Meatballs with Garlic Bread

Spaghetti with meatballs (or spaghetti and meatballs) is an Italian-American dish that usually consists of spaghetti, tomato sauce and meatballs.



It is widely believed that spaghetti with meatballs was an innovation of early 20th-century Italian

immigrants in New York City; the National Pasta Association (originally named the National Macaroni Manufacturers Association) is said to be the first organization to publish a recipe for it, in the 1920s.

Italian writers often mock the dish as pseudo-Italian or non-Italian  because, in Italy, meatballs are uncommon and smaller.

However, various kinds of pasta with meat are part of the culinary tradition of the Abruzzo, Apulia, Sicily, and other parts of southern Italy. A recipe for rigatoni with meatballs is in Il cucchiaio d'argento (The Silver Spoon), a comprehensive Italian cookbook known as the "bible" of Italian Cooking. Other dishes that have similarities to spaghetti and meatballs include include pasta seduta 'seated pasta' and maccaroni azzese in Apulia.

Totally different are the baked pasta dishes from Apulia, where meatballs, mortadella, or salami are baked with rigatoni, tomato sauce, and mozzarella, then covered with a pastry top.

Other pasta recipes include slices of meat rolled up with cheese, cured meats and herbs (involtini in Italian) and braciole (bra'zhul) in Italian-American and Italian-Australian slang, that are cooked within sauce but pulled out to be served as a second course.

...and Spaghetti and Meatballs are always better with Garlic Bread



One of America's Favorites - Garlic Bread

Garlic bread (also garlic toast) consists of bread (usually a baguette or sour dough like a ciabatta),

topped with garlic and olive oil or butter and may include additional herbs, like chives. It is then either grilled or broiled until toasted, or baked in a conventional or bread oven.

It is typically made using a French baguette, or sometimes a sourdough like ciabatta which is partially sliced downwards, allowing the condiments to soak into the loaf while keeping it in one piece. The bread is then stuffed through the cuts with oil and minced garlic before baking. Alternatively, butter and garlic powder are used, or the bread is cut lengthwise into separate slices which are individually garnished.

Some variants are topped with a variety of cheeses, often mozzarella, cheddar or feta. Some restaurants use clarified butter in place of olive oil.

Commercially manufactured frozen garlic bread was developed in the 1970s by Cole's Quality Foods in Muskegon, Michigan.

Dinner Tonight: Spaghetti and Meatballs

I only had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea for Breakfast this morning, not much of an appetite this morning. After my Tea I went to Meijer for a few items I needed. A bit warmer today, 86 degrees with some humidity later in the afternoon. Took my car up to the local car wash and had it cleaned, much needed. Then stopped by the bank and got gas before coming home. Not a whole lot to do today so I caught up on some little jobs in and around the house. For dinner tonight I prepared Spaghetti and Meatballs.

Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Spaghetti

Here’s something to absorb: One serving of RONZONI HEALTHY HARVEST pasta has over 20% of your daily recommended fiber intake – but did you know that fiber is good for you in more ways than just digestion?

People with diets high in fiber have a lower risk for weight gain, obesity, development of insulin resistance and ronzonidiabetes. Fiber also prevents constipation, hemorrhoids and diverticulitis, but it also helps reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases like colon and breast cancer. Fiber may help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and total cholesterol, therefore reducing the risk of heart disease. It can also help lower blood sugar to better manage diabetes.

Dietary fiber is the edible part of plants, primarily carbohydrates that are resistant to digestion and absorption in the small intestine. Fiber may be digested by fermentation in the large intestine. By eating high fiber foods you feel fuller, eat less, with fewer absorbed calories.

Fiber comes in two basic forms – soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber is found in fruits, vegetables, seeds, brown rice, oats and barley. It prevents or reduces the absorption of certain substances into the bloodstream. Insoluble fiber is found mainly in whole grains and on the outside of seeds, fruits, legumes, and other foods. It is like a sponge that swells within the intestine to promote more efficient elimination and alleviate some digestive disorders.

Fiber is found only in plant foods and passes through the digestive tract without being completely broken down. Being indigestible, fiber provides no nutrients to the body, which is why for many years it was removed from processed foods like white bread. But, nutritionists have since discovered that fiber performs valuable functions precisely because it is not digested, and it is essential to good health.

Spaghetti and Meatballs

Dinner Tonight: Spaghetti and Meatballs




It's feeling like an Autumn Day out there today! I went out early this morning to get the Sunday
Papers and it about 49 degrees this morning. Beautiful day out, sunny and in the 60's. After Breakfast got the cart out and drove around the neighborhood a bit enjoying the beautiful day. Didn't stay out long today though, it's the first week of the NFL Season this afternoon! So it's my easy chair and remote for the afternoon! Love Football. For dinner tonight, Spaghetti and Meatballs.

Dinner Tonight: Spaghetti and Meatballs

What a gorgeous morning outside! The colors of the sky and rising sun in the East was just incredible. After Breakfast, worked out and started a load of laundry. Then my Mom makes an announcement that sends the rest of the family into hiding, I'm going to get an early start on my Spring Cleaning today! And when she says Cleaning, she means Cleaning. Dad used to be able to get out and go somewhere and hide and now since all his health issues he's trapped, so he has to partake in the festivities! So let the fun begin here at our house. For dinner tonight it's Spaghetti and Meatballs.

I using Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Wheat Spaghetti, my favorite Pasta. Cooks up great and an excellent tasting Pasta. It's 180 calories and 35 net carbs per serving. Then for my Meatballs I used Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs. The Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs are good size, meaty, and have a fantastic taste and their 190 calories and 5 net carbs for 3 Meatballs.

I always prepare extra Meatballs so I can make a Meatball Sub with them for my lunch or dinner the next day. For my Pasta Sauce I used LaRosa’s Original Sauce. A local favorite and still one of the best Sauces I’ve had. I also had a slice of Klosterman Wheat Bread and an ice-cold Diet Dr. Pepper to drink. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.
