Spaghetti with Turkey Pesto Meatballs

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1- 26 Ounce Jar Purchased Chunky Tomato Pasta Sauce
  • 1/2 Pound Ground Turkey
  • 3/4 Cup Fresh Breadcrumbs
  • 2 3/4 Tablespoons Purchased Pesto
  • 1 Egg White
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
  • 8 Ounces Spaghetti
DIRECTIONS:
  • Spread 1 cup pasta sauce over bottom of heavy medium skillet. Mix turkey, breadcrumbs, pesto, egg white and salt in medium bowl.
  • Using moistened hands, form mixture into golf ball size meatballs.
  • Place meatballs in single layer in sauce and spoon remaining sauce over.
  • Bring to a simmer; cover and reduce heat to medium-low simmering until meatballs are cooked through, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite.
  • Drain pasta, divide between bowls and top with meatballs and sauce.
This is a fun twist on a traditional favorite and happens to be very easy to make. If you like pesto (who doesn't, right?), you'll love this!
Enjoy.
