“Chickpea pasta with homemade roasted vegetable sauce (tomato red bell pepper sweet potato onion and garlic) 2 meatballs (2/3 Italian Turkey sausage 1/3 lean grass fed beef) topped with a small amount of freshly grated parmesan. I feel really good because I have come home and made dinner every night this week. In doing so I also set myself up to have leftovers that turned into easy lunches and other dinners.”

Instructions
1.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2.
In a large bowl, combine the turkey sausage, lean grass-fed beef, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form into meatballs (about 1.5 inches in diameter).
3.
Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
4.
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the roasted vegetable sauce. Toss the diced sweet potato, red bell pepper, onion, and garlic with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until tender.
5.
In a pot, cook the chickpea pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
6.
Once the vegetables are roasted, blend them with the diced tomatoes until smooth. Heat the sauce in a pot over medium heat.
