This is a quick and easy delicious dinner. Used Hunts Chunky Vegitable Spaghetti Pasta sauce & a little different pasta. It still turned out perfect! Very cheap and easy to make.

Ingredients

  • 16  ounces dried ziti or penne pasta
  • 1  26-ounce jar tomato pasta sauce
  • 1  16-ounce package Italian-style frozen cooked meatballs (32), thawed

  • 1  15-ounce carton ricotta cheese
  • 1/2  cup grated Parmesan cheese

I used my own sauce. Instead of separating the different cheeses I combined them and then I let the mixture cooked uncovered. The mixture covered the whole dish. I also used frozen meatballs. The dish was even better the second day if you have any left.
