Kittencal's Spaghetti and Meatball Casserole

"This is a wonderful change from your everyday spaghetti and meatballs, I make this with my recipe#71273 *and* recipe#69173 but of coarse you may use your own favorite meatball and pasta sauce or use two 28-ounce jars of purchased spaghetti sauce, really you can use any amount of spaghetti sauce and meatballs you desire. Prep time does not include preparing or baking the meatballs. Serve this with garlic bread on the side and a small salad if desired :)"

directions

  • Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
  • Prepare your own favorite meatball recipe, then shape into about 1-1/2-inch balls.
  • Place the meatballs onto a greased baking sheet and bake until thoroughly cooked (about 22-25 minutes at 375 degrees) set the meatballs aside.
  • Boil the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling water until just al dente; drain then place into a large bowl.
  • Toss the spaghetti with 3 tablespoons oil; cool slightly, then add in eggs, 1-1/2 cups mozzeralla cheese, 1 cup Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper; using clean hands toss until thoroughly combined (you can use a spoon but hands are better!).
  • Place the spaghetti into prepared baking dish, then press down slightly with hands.
  • Scatter the cooked meatballs over the spaghetti.
  • Top with spaghetti sauce over the top making certain to cover the pasta completely.
  • Cover with foil and bake 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
  • Remove from oven then sprinkle about 1-1/2 cups mozzeralla cheese (or amount desired) over the top, then return to oven uncovered for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
  • Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

  1. I cut the recipe in half. Made ground beef meatballs. Followed the recipe as written. You do need to mix with your hands. I recommend you let it cool some first. I was able to make this inadvance. The leftovers were heated in the micro. with no problems. Served it with caesar salad & garlic bread. I plan on making this the next time Dd has her friends over as they are big eaters/picky. The family loved it & I will be serving this again. Thank you Kitten.
     
  2. My boyfriend and I both loved this recipe!! Easy to make and is just as good re-heated for leftovers. Yum!!
     
  3. Delicious and easy to throw together. Used one of my recipes for meatballs that is almost identical to yours. I like the recipe as is but I might mix in a little sauce with the noddles next time before placing in the casserole dish, just for extra sauce flavor. Thanks for sharing!
     
  4. This is what I was looking for; i had frozen meatballs and my frozen tomato sauce from last fall. i use shells for the pasta; this is a keeper; I froze half and it as just as good. Thanks for posting.
     
  5. This recipe is ridiculously delicious! Made with frozen meatballs. Perfect!

  1. I've been making a recipe similar to this for some time but with minced beef instead of the meatballs. Decided to try your recipe with your Italian parmesan meatballs and now the family has a hard time remembering what their old favourite looked or tasted like. Hubby and son thank you for the recipe and I as always am grateful for the day I stumbled upon your wonderful collection of your recipes. Keep up the great work.
