School is back in full swing for Chris. That means, I am running the roads dropping him off and picking him up from school. Thankfully we live 7 minutes away from Cornell! Between managing his schedule, teaching music lessons, managing the blog and being mommy, one pan meals are my absolute favorite.
One thing that has helped me develop meals easier is keeping a master list of all of our favorite meals on our refrigerator. This comes in handy when I am creating a grocery list for the week. Instead of wracking my brain on what to cook I can refer to my list. It also has helped stay on a budget because more times than not I already have most of the ingredients in the pantry to assemble the meals.
One meal that is always a favorite is Lasagna. If you want the taste of Lasagna without the time it typically takes to assemble, these meatballs will be your family’s new favorite. DaVinci Pasta has made these Lasagna inspired meatballs a breeze to make. These meatballs are filled with all the creamy ricotta, Parmesan cheese and rich Italian flavor that everyone loves. They are hearty and such a good comfort food as the months cool off. These Lasagna meatballs are easily a meal by themselves, serve them with bread or veggies for bonus points! You can find DaVinci pasta at your local Tops Market.
I hope you and your family enjoy these meatballs as much as we do. DaVinci pasta is one way to bring a little bit of Italy to your kitchen. Made with 100% durum wheat semolina, this is pasta that you can actually taste the authenticity. Once you have tried the Italian made DaVinci pasta you will never go back to any other brand! Let this brand jump start all your favorite meals this fall season. As if you needed another reason to try DaVinci, they are offering a sweepstakes opportunity that will provide you with a year’s worth of pasta, a grocery gift card AND pasta cooking essentials!
