Sue put this spaghetti Alfredo with meatballs dish together last night. The recipes and ingredients came from a few different resources but once joined the meal had great flavor and was very filling.

Pasta: Tinkyada Organic Brown Rice Spaghetti

These noodles are thick and very hearty with a flavor that is second to none. Follow the directions on the pack and be sure to work out any clumps before straining.

Alfredo: Mayacamas Alfredo Sauce Mix

I’ll admit that I was a little reluctant to try Alfredo sauce from a packet. Spending much of my career as a cook in a number of restaurants I only ever had homemade Alfredo. This sauce from Mayacamas has incredible flavor and compliments the pasta perfectly.

Meatballs: Karina’s Kitchen Spaghetti and Meatballs

The general idea of the meatball recipe came from Karina’s Kitchen. I’m sure you could follow this recipe to the ‘t’ and it would be great but we made some modifications for our needs. We used only ground beef, substituted more molasses in place of the ketchup and we used powdered seasonings in place of the fresh cut onions and garlic. You can experiment with ingredients and quantities to fit your cooking style or mood. Our meatballs came out sweet (molasses) but complimented the Alfredo and pasta very well.

Finishing Touches:
We topped the dish off with sauted green beans with garlic and fresh grated Locatelli cheese (get it from your local Italian food shop).
