Had to pick between a frozen pizza and making something from scratch tonight
I was tired after work and almost grabbed a frozen pie, but I had some leftover chicken and a bell pepper. I decided to chop it up and throw it in a pan with a jar of marinara and some penne. It took maybe 20 minutes and tasted way better. Anyone have other quick pasta ideas for those 'almost gave up' nights?

Frozen meatballs are a total lifesaver, aren't they? You can also toss them in a store-bought curry sauce for a change, it's just as easy. A can of chickpeas or some frozen spinach thrown into the same pot makes it feel even more complete. Why is it that the simplest meals sometimes hit the spot the most?

That "almost gave up" feeling is so real. I keep a bag of frozen meatballs for exactly that. I can drop a few in a pot of sauce to heat through while the water boils for spaghetti. It feels like a real meal with almost no effort. A little grated cheese on top makes it perfect.
