[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you cook the Trader Joe’s refrigerated meatballs without any fancy appliances- just an oven or stove? [/quote]

Is a microwave a fancy appliance? Nuke them.[/quote]

^^ If you don't have one I would cut in half and fry on the stove for quick, cook in sauce on stove if you want sauce. [/quote]

Can you break that down? How do you fry on the stove? And for how long? I would love to make meatballs and pasta but only know how to make the pasta. [/quote]

Start boiling water (for pasta). Spray oil into a frying pan. Or pour a little oil. Either works. Put frozen meatballs directly into hot  oil, medium heat. Stir/flip a few times every few minutes until they start to brown. When you’ve flipped them a few times pour sauce on top and turn heat to med low. Cover. Now is a good time to put the pasta in the boiling water. When it’s done, the sauce is done. If you’re unsure about whether or not you’re burning the sauce stir it once in a while.

You can also microwave the meatballs.

When you get more comfortable you can add a little diced onion and garlic to the pan with the meatballs. You can throw in handfuls of spinach or a little basil when the sauce goes in. You can top with flakes of Parmesan cheese when it’s done. These things are not hard or complicated but if you’re starting from zero, take it slow. [/quote]
