To make spaghetti and meatballs: Cook spaghetti according to package directions. While spaghetti cooks, heat 1 jar of tomato sauce over medium heat – bring to a simmer and lower heat to maintain simmer without boiling. Add cooked chicken meatballs to sauce. When pasta is done cooking, drain and add to sauce. Mix to coat pasta with sauce (I use tongs) and serve! (Recommend topping with grated parm, duh!)
