Easy and fast comfort food that won’t turn your kitchen into a disaster area.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Boil pasta until it is just tender (I boil it in a deap saute pan thingy).
In a bowl, mix pasta with butter, 2 cups mozzarella, parmesan, ricotta (or cottage cheese), and seasonings. Spray the pan you boiled your noodles in with Pam and pour in your spaghetti mixture. Top with meatballs and sauce. Sprinkle on remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake covered for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes.
Serve with salad and breadsticks.
Note: All seasoning amounts are estimates; I usually just dump them in until it looks like enough. You might want more or less based on what your family likes.

This was a great, easy family meal! The kids loved it and it didn’t take me forever to put together. I think next time I’ll add just a bit of the pasta water into the cheese mixture just to thin it out a bit and use a bit more sauce, but the flavors were great – thanks for the recipe!

This was very tasty! My husband liked it too and said he’d eat it again (that’s always a big compliment when I make something new!).
I made a 1/2 recipe since its only the two of us and the only suggestion I have is that it needed more sauce–I probably could have used the whole jar, but we like things kind of saucy in our house.
A very yummy dinner!
