Preparation tips:
You may want to prepare the tomato sauce in advance so that you'll be free to prepare the meatballs before mealtime. The salad and the peaches and wine can be prepared in advance too. Refrigerate both of them until serving time.

Wine Ideas:
Valpolicella all the way. You can use it in the peaches too if you like.

Serving notes:
Serving is straight forward with this meal. First the pasta and once everyone has finished put on the salad an meatballs. You may want to prepare a second dessert for the kids or anyone who prefers not to drink.
