Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Return to pan. Stir in RAGÚ® Chunky Tomato, Garlic and Onion Sauce and meatballs. Transfer to 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Bake, covered, in a 350 degrees F oven for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, Italian sausage, garlic, parsley, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, bread crumbs, eggs, and milk. Mix until everything is fully infused together.
• Roll into 4-5 ounce (113-142 g) meatballs. For even amounts, use a medium-sized ice cream scooper.
• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a pan, and brown the meatballs on both sides for about 2-3 minutes or until you create a nice crispy sear. Cook about half way through. They will finish cooking in the oven.
• In a casserole dish, spread a few tablespoons of marinara sauce to the bottom of the pan to help prevent sticking. Then place meatballs in the casserole dish and add the remaining jar of marinara sauce. Top with 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese.
• Cover in foil and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the meatballs are fully cooked.
• Serve and garnish with parsley.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• If meatballs are frozen, thaw in microwave to just warmed.
• Put tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes tomato paste, chopped onion, jalapeno pepper, 1/4 cup water, 8 oz of cheese, and seasonings in a 9 x 13 casserole dish and blend together.
• In the meantime, boil water and make noodles to al dente.
• Drain noodles, add to casserole dish and blend in, making sure sauce covers all the noodles.
• Add meatballs and gently blend in cheese.
• Sprinkle 4 oz of cheese on top, covering casserole dish.
• Put in oven at 350°F for 30 minutes.
• Check for burning of cheese (may cover with aluminum foil gently to prevent some burning or browning of cheese).
• Cooking is to warm through and through and to melt cheese. If your oven cooks hot or altitude is high, adjust time in oven.
• Options:.
• I have also made this in a smaller casserole dish and microwaved for a faster dinner in less than 20 minutes.
• May substitute cheese flavors such as Fiesta blend, Taco blend to give another flavor.
• Measurements are not exact on spices as I eyeball them, cheese is a few handfuls in the dish and 1 handful on top.
• My meatballs are Italian sausage meatballs but can be turkey, ground beef or a mixture of any kind.
• NOTE: prep does not include boiling water.
