Zippy Pasta with Meatballs

I wanted to make meatballs the other day, but plain meatballs seemed so boring.  I have a recipe called "Zippy Ground Beef Skillet", and I thought I would substitute meatballs for cooked ground beef in the recipe.  Turns out, I liked this version of the recipe better.  I'm not sure how my family felt about it because they rarely respond with anything except, "It's good" or "It needs salt."

I thought it was pretty easy to make, but it is slightly more complicated than making just ground beef.  I think it's worth the extra effort.
