Today I’m sharing with you one of the easiest pasta dishes you’ll ever make! I call it the Meatball Pasta “Dump It And Forget It” Casserole and it’s as easy as it sounds.

You literally dump everything in a 9×13 pan, cover it with tin foil, and bake it.

This is a healthy recipe for a busy weeknight so your family can all sit around the table and have a meaningful conversation. Or, at least that’s the plan in a perfect world, right?

Today RAGÚ is helping us out with their new delicious sauce! The New RAGÚ® Simply Chunky Marinara Pasta Sauce is made with 100% olive oil and contains no added sugar and it helps me make a healthy weeknight recipe taste delicious. I love sauces that taste fresh and vibrant. This New RAGÚ Simply Chunky Marinara Pasta Sauce tastes freshly homemade. You can taste the tomatoes, not just the seasonings. It’s spectacular!

The NEW RAGÚ Simply Chunky Marinara Pasta Sauce has plump tomatoes, onions, garlic and spices. Simple recipes are the best recipes because you can really taste the ingredients. I can feel good about serving this sauce to my family and I love using it in all sorts of recipes.

Every mom on the planet is busy every weeknight and making dinner is one of those things that is super time consuming! We think about it on and off all day long. “What am I going to make for dinner tonight”, “What is something different I can make for dinner”, and “Why do I need to make dinner EVERY night!?”

I’be been a mom for 19 years now and I still have 4 out of 5 kids living at home who are hungry 100% of the time. That’s one of the main reasons I started this blog. To keep all my recipes in one place. And this recipe is one to keep on record. It’s one of those recipes that you would make once a week. I love it, the hubby loves it and so do the kids. Win, win, win!

So lets get right to it! I’ll explain the recipe step by step here but you can scroll to the bottom of this post and print the recipe if you prefer that.

Meatball Pasta “Dump It And Forget It” Casserole

What you’ll need:

One package desired UNCOOKED pasta. I used rotini.
2 jars New RAGÚ Simply Chunky Marinara Pasta Sauce
1 cup water.
36 frozen meatballs.
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese.

Spray the bottom of a 9×13 pan with non cooking spray. Add the uncooked pasta.

Add the two jars of RAGÚ sauce.

Add the cup of water and stir.

Evenly place the meatballs around the casserole dish.

Cover tightly with double layer of tin foil.

Bake at 400 degrees for 55-60 minutes or until Pasta is tender to your liking. Remove from oven and carefully take tin foil off being careful of the steam.

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the casserole and put back in oven for 10 more minutes. This will also help the meatballs to brown a little.

Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Enjoy with garlic bread and Caesar Salad if desired.
