Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 15 oz. can whole or diced tomatoes whatever you have on hand (puree them or pulse them in the blender until they reach the desired texture; can be smooth or chunky)
  • 24 oz. Jar Classico Spicy Tomato & Basil Pasta Sauce
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 3/4 tsp. dried basil
  • Your favorite frozen meatballs
  • 1.37 oz. dry packet Thick and Zesty Spaghetti Sauce Mix Mccormick
  • 8-12 oz. spaghetti noodles; cooked and drained

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, stir together the canned tomatoes (puree or keep them chunky), Classico pasta sauce, salt and basil. Allow that to come to a boil. Stir.
  2. Add a bunch of frozen meatballs (pack them in). Turn the heat down and let that simmer for about an hour, covered. For the last 5 minutes, stir in the dry packet of spaghetti sauce mix and let it continue to cook and thicken. Add the cooked and drained spaghetti noodles in and toss to coat them fully in the sauce mixture. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
