I developed this one-skillet spaghetti and meatball dish to cut down on cooking time on busy nights. The beans, artichokes and tomatoes bump up the nutrition factor, while the lemon and parsley make it pop with brightness. —Roxanne Chan, Albany, California
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
12 ounces frozen fully cooked italian turkey meatballs
1 can (28 ounces) whole tomatoes, undrained, broken up
1 can (15 ounces) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14 ounces) water-packed quartered artichoke hearts, drained
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; add meatballs and cook until browned slightly, turning occasionally.
Add tomatoes, beans, artichoke hearts, Italian seasoning and broth; bring to a boil. Stir in spaghetti; return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until spaghetti is tender, 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in parsley and lemon juice. Serve with cheese.
