I’m not being dramatic, but there is something special about this classic combination of spaghetti and meatballs. First of all, the flavors are spot on, the whole family will love it. Secondly, its quick to prepare and comes together in few simple steps.

The recipe needs minimal spices. For the marinara sauce you can use either homemade or store-bought, which will form the base of your dish. When it comes to meatballs, frozen ones will do the job but I highly recommend my favorite meatball recipe; trust me, it’s Ah-mazing.. juicy, and full of flavor! Once your marinara sauce and meatballs are ready, then the rest of the dish will need no more than 15 minutes. Just cook up some spaghetti, simmer the meatballs in the marinara sauce with spices, and toss them all together with parmesan cheese to finish it off.

You can store leftovers in an airtight container and it reheats very well.

Healthy Alternative?

If you are looking for a healthy low carb alternative, this recipe works perfectly with Zucchini noodles / zoodles.  You can cook zoodles into the pasta sauce, cook for 2-4 minutes until they are soft, and top with meatballs and parmesan cheese.

Are you a fan of Crispy Fish, like me? There is always something special about crispy food, and if it’s seafood then even better. On cozy days like that of fall & winter, when you’re lazy enough to cook but the cravings hit you really hard, a freezer stacked up with Gorton’s products are always a blessing. They are so convenient and tasty and a great way to add more protein into your diet.

I have used Gorton’s products before and I absolutely love them. They are a trusted brand in the seafood industry with a wide range of products ranging from fish, shrimp, clams and more. For this recipe, I have used Gorton’s Beer Battered Fish Fillets  which are crunchy breaded Alaska Pollock fillets coated in a crispy draft beer batter, offering a pub style taste. The fillets are 100% whole fish with no fillers, no preservatives, and no artificial colors. To know more about Gorton food products and their availability in your area, click here.

For making these crispy fish fillets, all you need to is pop them in an oven or air fryer for 20 minutes, and there you go. No need to deep fry (which I hate) and in no time you have super crispy and golden fish fillets for your burger. How cool is that!
