Answer 2

Just use Pasta Sides, that's what I do. Cheap, simple, and gets the job pretty darn fast.
Or Easy Spaghetti.
Boil some Penne pasta.
Heat up some Healthy Choice spaghetti sauce.
After about 5 minutes add the meat you use for meatballs (you don't have to roll them into balls if you're lazy, I don't), chopped onions, and other types of meat you like. I don't know about you but I like adding sausages, and pepperoni.
After the meat is cooked and the food is hot, and the pasta is done boiling. Pour the water from the pot of penne, add the pasta onto plates, and add the meat and sauce.
Easy, and mmm...mmm good.

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
