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.

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.

Ingredients
- 2 cup Italian Pasta Sauce
- 1 lb Cooked Perfect Meatballs
- 2 cup Whipped Cream
- 1 lb Pasta (any of your choice)
- 3 cup chopped Spinach
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese
- Garlic Salt with Parsley to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients for the recipe. Cook pasta according to the package instructions.
- Place the meatballs into a deep skillet. You can even use them frozen. I used the Cooked Perfect Homestyle Meatballs, they are just like homemade.
- Top them off with the marinara sauce and let it simmer on a very low heat, until meatballs thaw. I would say about 5 minutes.
- Add in whipping cream and parmesan cheese. Let the mixture simmer on low heat for 15 minutes.
- Stir in cooked pasta, add in chopped spinach and let it cook for a few more minutes. Season with garlic salt, if desired.
- Serve while warm, although it does reheat well.
