Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

1 strip (2 inch size) orange zest
1 teaspoon minced fresh marjoram or oregano leaves
2 teaspoons drained capers

directions
Combine turkey, sausage, bread crumbs, egg, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Mix gently and roll into 1-inch balls.
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs in batches.
Return the browned meatballs to the skillet and cook covered for 3 to 5 minutes or until cooked through. Remove meatballs to a plate and keep warm.
Add chicken broth to pan, bring to a boil, and scrape pan to loosen any brown bits. Add onion, garlic and fennel seeds and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes.
Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, orange zest, marjoram, capers and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, cook pasta in boiling salted water.
Drain in a colander and transfer to a platter. Top with meatballs and sauce and toss to combine. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
