Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

While pasta cooks, heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and bell pepper to the skillet and season with garlic powder and some salt and pepper. Break apart pork and cook until it's is browned and cooked through.

Stir in pasta sauce and bring to a simmer.

Top pasta with sauce and serve.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine the brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, beets, and walnuts. Toss with the oil, thyme, rosemary, and a pinch of salt and pepper until evenly coated. Spread in an even layer on the sheet pan.

Roast for 20-25 minutes, until the vegetables are fork-tender. Let cool for 5 minutes, then toss with the balsamic vinaigrette and serve.

Meal Prep Tip: If making for multiple days, store the roasted vegetable mixture and vinaigrette separately, and dress just before serving. To reheat, warm on a sheet pan at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or microwave for 1-2 minutes.
