I have so many leftovers in my refrigerator right now. I almost have too many to eat in a timely manner. I am not sure how it happened...we ate a lot of food, there was still just a lot left. And everyone knows that leftovers get less and less appetizing ...really fast.
Well, one of the items was spaghetti and meatballs. I had frozen a batch of meatballs with some red sauce before I gave birth to my third child. We pulled them out the other day and added them to some pasta. Well, the flavor was lacking. I am not sure why. Maybe I didn't season the meatballs enough before freezing. Or maybe the freezer just sucked out all that good flavor. Either way...they were just mediocre.
Yesterday I decided to make up the rest for dinner. I had some fresh veggies, so I sauteed up some onions, green peppers, zucchini, and tomatoes. I added a little extra tomato sauce to moisten everything up a bit more.
Here are the kids waiting for dinner... it usually entails Aydan whining, crying, and pulling on my leg.
I heated up the spaghetti separately and threw it all together.
I must say it turned out pretty good. Oh, and I added some fresh basil that I got from my planter on the back porch. It added a tad of depth to the dish.
So, I successfully turned some ordinary meatballs into something much more tasty. It helps that I just love fresh veggies. I could eat those up all day!
