As often happens I get tired of cooking at the end of the week. So I decide to push the gnocchi dish into next week. The gnocchi is shelf stable and onions, kale, and mushrooms will last a while longer.

So I use up the rest of the linguine in the package, pour out the remainder of the frozen meatballs, open a jar of Rao’s tomato and basil sauce, and voila! dinner. I do put a little of my own spin on the sauce with red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and oregano.

It turns out really yummy. Now I wonder if I will bother making my own spaghetti sauce or meatballs in the future!
