'Ghetti & Meatballs
Last night it was just Max and I again for dinner, since Rod is still out of town. After Fin goes down for the night (which is very very early), I usually get our dinner together. We had Pasta with Marinara Sauce and Meatballs. The pasta noodles I used were the Gemelli noodles, which are now one of my favorites because of their texture -- I like a bite to my pasta. Max calls all pasta, "'Ghetti!"
The other day I tried to bribe Max to eat his dinner with cookies. Not even a nibble, therefore, there were no cookies. He did not like that idea and kept insisting on cookies, but I stayed strong. Last night was a different story. . . he ate his entire bowl of pasta! So, we baked chocolate chip cookies together. I just so happened to have dough already made in the fridge. I love this because you can just bake as many as you want (and don't eat the entire batch) and put the rest back in the fridge. That way, you always have HOT cookies from the oven! One of Max's favorite things to do is watch things cook in the oven. So he says, "I see it." This means, "Mom, turn the light on NOW!"

we love Ghetti & meatballs at our house, too! My son could eat this breakfast, lunch, and dinner 24-7
I have to try those noodles. We love penne & farfalli but don't think we have ever tried those & I am all about textures too. Do you cook your pasta al dente? I have to have mine mushy. :)
we ate this pasta tonight for din-din!
did you like these noodles?
Cookie dough does not last long in our fridge. They don't last long if we bake them, either. *sigh*
