Lazy & Budget Friendly Dinner 🍝

Pasta with meatballs and marinara has lately been my go-to budget friendly dinner. This is of course a simple recipe that most people know how to make but my version is vegan and gluten free for my dietary needs. Often vegan and gluten free meals can be expensive so I like to share my budget meals to help anyone new to gluten free and plant based eating. 🍽️

These Trader Joe’s meatless meatballs are a temporary item that over the years get discontinued and then brought back but anyways I’m glad they’re stocked. For reference the impossible meatballs can cost up to $9 a bag but these ones are $5.

Step 1:

Bake the meatless meatballs in an air fry or toaster oven while you make the pasta according to the bag’s directions.

Step 2:

Bring a pot of water to a boil, then add a pinch of salt and tiny bit of olive oil to the pot as well. Cook a serving of your pasta according to the directions on the box.

Step 3:

Drain the pasta, then warm up a serving of marinara in the same pot.

Step 4:

Plate your meal with the pasta, marinara, the meatballs, black pepper and some freshly grated dairy free Parmesan if you have it.

... Read morePasta is a favorite among many, and when combined with meatless meatballs, it transforms into a satisfying dinner option. Using easily accessible ingredients like Trader Joe's meatless meatballs, which are significantly cheaper than other brands, makes it easier to stick to a budget while enjoying hearty meals. To enhance this dish, consider adding seasonal vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or zucchini. Cooking them together with the pasta can contribute an extra layer of nutrition and flavor. Additionally, if you're looking for gluten-free options, the variety of gluten-free pasta available today makes it possible to enjoy your favorite dishes with dietary restrictions. For those interested in meal prepping, this vegan pasta dish keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days, making it an ideal choice to prepare in bulk. Preparing meals ahead of time can save you both time and money, allowing you to enjoy healthy options throughout the week. Don’t forget to top your pasta with fresh herbs like basil or parsley for a burst of flavor! Making your meals satisfying and budget-friendly is all about choosing the right ingredients and being creative with what you have. Green cooking can lead not only to savings but to discovering new and exciting flavors in your everyday meals.
