I just read the comments on this meal and I think I my family will like it. The only thing is that i will use ground turkey to make meat balls out of cause my toddlers love meat ball. This is only cause I dont have a lot of meat chooses to pick from and need to gt to the grocery store, so I thought I would improvise. Wish me luck!

Great recipe. I used chicken broth to cook the pasta and broccoli and added some garlic for extra flavor. Very simple!

This is a FANTASTIC and VERY versitile recipie. I've made it several times, using whatever meat and veggies we just have lying around. Sometimes I use italian sausage, sometimes chicken, sometimes chunks of steak and once I used pork chops! No one in the house likes broccoli so I've used asparagus, canned corn, green beans, bell peppers, and sometimes peas! Sometimes I even use more than one! It does need alittle more garlic and some extra spices. SOOOO VERSATILE.
