Quick dinner tip

When you need a quick dinner for 2, get:
1/2 jar Rao's marinara
10-12 Rosina's Italian Style meatballs (Wild Fork Foods - $6 a bag, probably 4 meals
6 oz good Italian pasta
cheese and crushed red peppers if desiredWith these three you will have as good a plate of red sauce pasta as you will find anywhere.

Made Swedish meatballs tonight, using their "Angus Beef" meatballs.
Served over wide egg noodles and some beans on the side.
Sauce?
3 tablespoons margarine or butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill weed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 Cup dairy sour creamHeat margarine in l-quart saucepan over low heat until melted. Stir in flour. Cook, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in broth, dill weed, salt and nutmeg. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute: remove from heat. Stir in sour cream.
My thoughts: Go heavy on the dill weed and nutmeg.

@mik not really.
This is Jeff Smith's (The Frugal Gourmet) recipe for Swedish Meatballs. His recipe had the instructions for making the meatballs from scratch. I gave up on that, and went with the frozen. Scratch not worth the effort.
However, the sauce is exactly his recipe.

Make your meatballs up ahead of time and freeze.
