Is there anything better than a 10 minute meal? No, no there isn’t. As much as I love to cook, I’m also pretty lazy when it comes to cooking weeknight dinners. I think there are moments when it’s normal and fun to spend all day cooking. Really, I do. However, those moments are NOT during the week. Weeknight meals should be quick, easy and healthy, like this 10 minute meatballs with edamame recipe, for example.
Do you guys shop at ALDI? If so, what’s your favorite thing about it? For me, I love how affordable it is and the fact that they sell PLENTY of organic groceries. ALDI recently launched their largest product refresh ever, meaning there are now a TON of fresh new products to try. I had an opportunity to go shopping and check everything out, and I’m sharing a few of my favorites with you in this recipe.
Miguel and I tend to have pasta night once a week. While I’m a huge fan of using regular pasta and gluten free noodles, I also love using a VEGETABLE in place of those noodles. In this case, I used Season’s Choice shelled edamame. I’ve always been a fan of edamame—it kind of reminds me of lima beans (which I frequently ate while growing up) but with a better texture—and I really love pairing it with pasta-like ingredients, such as meatballs and marinara sauce.
But here’s a secret: those meatballs are actually VEGAN meatless meatballs!! Miguel couldn’t believe it! I said “how do you like the meatballs?” and he replied that they were “really good”. Then I told him they were vegan and he was like “REALLY?!”
Yes, really.
Do yourself a favor: visit your local ALDI store and check out all their new products and goodies. You won’t regret it!
