SERVES 4
1-pound package linguine noodles
25 frozen beef meatballs
1 jar pasta sauce (your favorite)
2 tablespoons fresh chopped basil or oregano
Grated parmesan cheese
In a large Dutch oven or saucepan, cook linguine according to instructions. Drain and keep warm. If necessary, sprinkle with a few drops of oil to prevent noodles from sticking together. In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, add meatballs and sauce, and cook slowly until meatballs are thoroughly defrosted and sauce is bubbly. Stir in herbs (reserve a bit for the topping) and keep warm on low heat.
Divide noodles among plates or bowls and top with sauce and meatballs. Sprinkle generously with parmesan cheese and additional fresh herbs.
