Spinach-mushroom pasta & meatballs in garlic-wine sauce
Pasta and macaroni
Italian cuisine
This is one of my what-have-I-got-in-my-kitchen? kinda dishes. I'm usually thinking about tomorrow's dinner the night before, and I knew I wanted to use the meatballs and pasta, but just do something besides spaghetti in tomato sauce, something a bit different. Also, I found these great big mushrooms on sale and just had to put them to good use! The turkey meatballs are tasty and low in fat & calories, made by Kroger; I get these because a big bag can last for up to 3 meals, and because they're good for making quick dinners--yes, I do make my own at times, but it's good to have something fast I can throw together. I prefer fresh spinach with this dish, but all I had was the frozen at the moment, and it was still pretty good--the wine is poured over the dish as a last step and the spinach really took it in well. Also, cutting the meatballs in half helped blend their taste with the rest of the ingredients. The wine was the only bottle of white we had on the wine rack, but it worked deliciously with the rest of the dish! I served this with green peas & pearl onions flavored with lemon juice and lemon pepper with a little garlic, and sliced tomatoes.
