Quick Spaghetti and Meatballs

This is a spin-off of my traditional homemade spaghetti sauce

Ingredients:
3 (14.5 ounce) cans of whole/diced tomatoes
6 oz. can of tomato paste
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried oregano  
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp onion powder
 2 cloves minced garlic
26 ounce bag Italian Style Meatballs

Combine all of the ingredients except the meatballs into a large pot. Bring it to a boil and then add the meatballs. Simmer on med-low or low for the amount of time the meatballs requires on the package (usually about 15-20 minutes). As this simmers stir occasionally. 

Serve over spaghetti noodles topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. 

A note about Spaghetti Noodles. I love to combine different varieties of spaghetti noodles rather than just use one kind. I usually use a combination of: Barilla Veggie Spaghetti Pasta, Barilla Whole Grain Pasta Spaghetti, and Barilla Classic Blue Box Spaghetti
