Spaghetti and Meatballs

In many homes, Monday-night supper calls for comfort food, as folks try to ease back into the workweek. A heaping plate of spaghetti crowned with plump meatballs is the perfect dish to serve. Make a double batch of the marinara sauce, so you have a container in the freezer, ready at a moment’s notice.
