Today, we celebrate the birthday of a true legend, a man who has touched our hearts and souls with his music for decades. Happy 90th to the one and only Willie Nelson!

He's a symbol of resilience, of standing up for what you believe in, and of never giving up on your dreams. He's a champion of farmers and the working class, using his platform to raise awareness and support for their struggles ❤️🎉

Meatball Boats
𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀
1 lb. ground beef
1 large egg
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbsp. chopped parsley
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 cup marinara sauce
4 crusty Italian sandwich rolls
12 slices provolone
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup shredded parmesan

𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.
Meatballs
In a large bowl, combine ground beef with egg, breadcrumbs, parmesan, garlic, and parsley.
Season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
Form into 12 evenly sized meatballs.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil.
Cook meatballs until seared on all sides, about 4 minutes. Add marinara sauce, gently stir, and cover with a lid.
Turn the heat down to simmer until meatballs are no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes more. Internal temperature of the meatballs should be 160°F.
Prepare the Bread Boats
Cut a long rectangle through the top of the bread loaf and hollow the top of your hoagie roll out to make a boat.
Lay three slices of provolone over the roll to cover the hollowed-out area and bake for 5 minutes, until melted. Then place four meatballs on top of the cheese in a row.
Spoon marinara over the meatballs. Sprinkle the mozzarella equally over the meatballs. Then sprinkle the parmesan.
Place in the oven and bake 6-8 minutes more. Broil if desired.

𝗚𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗵𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗽 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗮 🥘
1 lb medium shrimp, deveined and tails removed
1 lb spaghetti noodles (more or less, depending on family size)
6 -8 garlic cloves, according to personal taste, minced
1/4 cup butter
olive oil (3 drizzles)
italian seasoning
fresh ground pepper
red pepper flakes
salt
herbs (according to taste)
1 Boil pasta in water till tender, save 1 cup of pasta water for use later. I always put some oil, salt, and fresh herbs in with my pasta when I boil it. Drain and set aside when done.
2 While pasta is boiling, wash shrimp.
3 Melt butter over medium heat. Add shrimp.
4 Let cook till a little pink and starting to curl. Then add garlic.
5 Cook 5-7 min., add oil. Continue to stir till shrimp is pink and curled.
6 Add pasta to skillet. Add seasonings. Add just enough saved pasta water till it is not dry but not swimming in liquid either. Depending on amount of pasta this requires 1/2 the cup or all of it. Start with adding 1/4 of it then work up from there.
7 Keep tossing all ingredients around in skillet till all is incorporated and hot.
Enjoy ❤
