Ingredients

  • 5 ounces spaghetti noodles
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon parsley
  • 2 cup Ragu® Traditional Tomato Sauce
  • 12 cooked meatballs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large pot set on the stove top, cook spaghetti with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Cook according to package directions. Strain spaghetti and toss with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray to prevent the noodles from sticking together. Allow mixture to cool. Meanwhile, cook meatballs according to package directions (or make your own). Toss spaghetti with 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese crumbs and 1 tablespoon parsley. Spray a 12 cup muffin tin pan well with cooking spray. Spoon noodle mixture into tins, filling it nearly to the top. Spoon 1 tablespoon Ragu® Sauce on top of the noodles then top with 1 meatball for each. Spoon 1 tablespoon over the top of each meatball then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley or basil. Cook in oven for about 20 minutes.
