Laura's Week 7 Meal

This week, in honor of Valentines Day, we made spaghetti with heart shaped meatballs. The recipe that I used can be found here. For the sauce, I actually blended it in a food processor because I do not like chunks in my sauce and I think it helps to make the onion and garlic more flavorful in the sauce. I also added some garlic powder and onion powder to taste and also a quarter of a teaspoon of sugar. For the noodles I used whole wheat noodles because they are better for you and I think that they taste better. We also made some heart shaped rolls using a cookie cutter and some crescent rolls from the refrigerated section. Everyone really loved the food. For the meatballs I also used crushed up saltines in place of the bread crumbs which I think added an amazing taste to it. They smelled delicious while they were cooking.
The meal only took about an hour to make from start to finish. I really enjoyed this sauce recipe though, I have not fount a sauce recipe before that I really cared for before now. Here are the pictures I took:

Unfortunately I do not have my receipt for the groceries so I don't have an amount for you this week.
I would highly recommend making this if you ever feel so inclined to make hearts everywhere. You could make it as a regular spaghetti and meatballs too.

Have a great week everyone!
