It starts with putting a little oil in the pan and crisping the outside of the Gardein meatless meatballs, and then I pour sauce into the pan and let the balls simmer.
I topped them with seasonings and some shredded non-dairy mozzarella, after I felt like I wouldn't need to stir much more.
Updating a previous concern that I had, I was able to use up the paltry tomato sauce that I had neglected in lieu of opening a new jar of Rao's.
This brand is called "Rinaldi", and I actually think it's really good for the price.
After using snob tomato sauce a few times in a row, I was in the mood for Rinaldi.
While I was waiting for the noodles and the meatballs to finish cooking, I fixed a little side salad for myself.
A little roughage can go a long ways. Sometimes I get in this rut where when I'm not eating super amazingly, I just ignore the idea of incorporating some whole fruit and veggie high-octane type of foods. It's not hard to grab a handful of spinach and eat that in addition to whatever yummy thing you have. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.
I would have made my salad a little bigger, but the spinach is low and I wasn't sure if 
Eventually the noodles were ready.
And after I did my signature "pour over" technique, the meal looked like this:
I paired it with an iconic Arizona Iced Tea.
Peach!
And because I was hungry I also opened up the Wachusett brand barbecue potato chips.
They're the GOAT barbecue chip. But they use MonoSodium Glutemate and all the dirty tricks. Not a natural talent.
I like to eat to completion, to the point of being full. So having chips on the side can be nice. I don't have to err on the side of making too much food, I can just eat chips tailored to how hungry I still am as I'm eating.
I hope everyone has a very nice night. 🌙
