We made this for my mother's 96th birthday party! It was a big hit! We bought the meatballs and Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce from Aldi's Food Store. It was fantastic!

Husband and I LOVED this recipe! We used about 1/2 pepper each of yellow, and orange peppers, about 1/2 c. chopped onion, and 3 tsp minced garlic instead of the stir fry mix. We think next time we will add some red pepper flakes. Overall - huge hit!
