I dont know about you, but for me having kids back at school is exciting, although at the same time our life became more hectic. We now have to be on a go-go schedule for all after-school activities and homework.

Easy One-Pan Meatball Pasta in a plate

Using store-bought Meatballs are an easy, convenient solution during the hectic Back to School year. I love how easy this recipe turned out and flavors are just incredible. The creamy sauce with marinara flavor was just the perfect addition to bring the whole dish together.
