Last night I was watching Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, about a restaurant that makes meatballs bigger than a baseball, when I realized that I have not added meatballs in my blog, even though I have been eating them for years.
Growing up "Spag and Meatballs" was a great way to feed an army of eight kids.
For puree, meatballs are great because they already have bread crumbs.
1 unit meatballs
2 units sauce
2 units water
1 unit vegetable
use spaghetti as a thickener
POTLUCK
Pasta is pretty common at potluck meals, often times the spaghetti are tube-type pastas instead. No worries.
Spaghetti must have been on my mind, because my sisters make great lasagna, and I bought my tickets to visit them over Christmas
HIDING THE VEGGIES
All the classic Italian vegetables can be pureed - peppers, zucchini, broccoli, etc. The tomato sauce will hides a multitude of veggies
GARLIC BREAD AND OTHER YUMMIES
Adding a chunk of buttery garlic bread, adds a nice pop to the flavor.
CHEESE
Cheese is always the difficult thing to add to tummy tubes, but not an issue to cup sippers. I find Parmesan works really easily either way.
