The Packer household officially has a new favorite pasta dish! I had fooled my brain into believing that this was a healthy dish because it is loaded with vegetables, but as I was typing all of the ingredients out, I realized that it really isn’t

This is a classic, delicious recipe for Italian style meatballs served with marinara sauce. You can serve this recipe over pasta, or on toasted french bread with melted mozzarella cheese for an amazing meatball sub. I prefer to double the recipe and serve over my pasta of choice for dinner, then use the leftovers for meatball subs the next day.

Instant Pot Mac N’ Cheese

If you have other mac n’ cheese recipes for your Instant Pot, you can throw them away, cause this is the only recipe you will ever need. This is a regular dish at our house. It is literally on the table in less than 15 minutes from start to finish and everything goes into a single pot, so the clean up is a breeze. Win win!! You will not find a smoother, cheesier recipe. As an added bonus, it is very easy to customize. Try adding jalapeño and corn or grilled chicken and barbecue sauce. Regardless of what your taste buds prefer, this recipe is a tried and true crowd pleaser.
