You can make a flavorful, fuss-free dinner by cooking everything in one skillet with this tasty meatball dish. Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs give the meatballs a rich flavor and texture.

To elevate a store-bought pasta sauce, I added a touch of garlic, then paired it with frozen green beans and sweet potatoes for a colorful, well-rounded meal ready in minutes.

HELPFUL HINTS:

If frozen sweet potato cubes are unavailable, use frozen or fresh butternut squash cubes.

Any type of low sodium pasta sauce can be used.
