I wanted to share another super quick, tasty and EASY pasta dish you can enjoy for lunch or dinner. This one came about as many of my meals do...I was looking to accomplish a few things...
1. Use up something in my fridge before it's "best by" date.
2. Use up leftovers.
3. Incorporate cheese into the recipe.
4. Cook something fast and simple on a weeknight.
This recipe delivered on all four of those things and it only had FOUR ingredients! Also, it's barely a recipe it's that easy!
Ingredients:
- 1 container of garlic bruschetta (Item I had to use before "best by" date)
- Turkey meatballs, chopped up (My leftover item)
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (My cheese requirement)
- 1 box 100% whole grain penne (Fast and simple)
Instructions:
- Cook pasta to package directions.
- Drain and pour pasta back into hot pot you cooked it in.
- Stir in whole container of bruschetta and grated Parmesan (however much cheese you want!)
- Microwave those turkey meatballs for a minute or so and add to the pot of pasta, cheese and bruschetta.
- Serve in a big bowl and garnish with extra cheese if you like.
- Enjoy!
PRO TIP: I chop my meatballs into halves or quarters before I reheat them. Two reasons there...One, they reheat much faster and two, it "stretches a buck." Suddenly 8 meatballs turn into 16 halves or 32 little bits of turkey meatball goodness running through all your pasta.
PRO TIP: This gets better the next day or even the day after that as the pasta and bruschetta sauce really get a chance to hang out together in your fridge.
