Okay so I made ONE more “Clean Out the Pantry” meal yesterday for lunch. I know I said I couldn’t pull off a third, but after my Cuban inspired bowl, and curry bowl I realized I had the “fixin’s” for an easy pasta bowl.
Clean Out the Pantry Pasta Bowl
This was a really basic and less creative one than my last 2 but came out delicious nonetheless. It was rainy and gloomy all day here so a warm and filling lunch hit the spot. This was the easiest of all with frozen turkey meatballs simmered in a jar of tomato sauce. Then I tossed that with some penne and shredded some fresh parm on top. BOOM. Problem solved, next problem. If I wanted to make this more of a complete meal I would have added a yummy salad on the side buuuut I didn’t so too bad.
Okay I’m officially tapped out, time to get my butt to Publix finally!
