This is a Crock of …Pestoalfrinara!

A unique take on crockpot spaghetti and meatballs.

Say What?! This week I needed to come up with something super simple and tasty, and I think I nailed it! My kids love spaghetti and meatballs, but I wanted to make it different and so I came up with this unique combo.

INGREDIENTS: 

  • 1 24 oz jar of your favorite marinara
  • 1 15 oz jar of alfredo
  • 1 6 oz jar of pesto
  • 1 14 oz package of frozen meatballs
  • 1 1/2 cups of water
  • 1/2 lb spaghetti

  • Add first 5 ingredients to your crock pot.
  • Break spaghetti into small pieces, add to the crock pot and mix all ingredients together.
  • Cook on low for a few hours, or until the spaghetti is cooked.The longer you leave it in the crock the softer your noodles become.

I call it pestoalfrinara. My kids called it delicious! What would you call it?
