This is a semi-homemade dinner.
1 box of Rigati pasta
2 jars of Italian sausage flavored spaghetti sauce
1 can of Italian flavored petite diced tomatoes
Onion powder, Salt, Pepper, Oregano, 3 garlic cloves, Nature Seasoning, Cinnamon, Parkay
Olive oil
1 bag of about 16 of your favorite brand of meatballs. I used 'Mama Lucia's fully cooked Italian meatballs'.
1 bag of Six cheese blend Italian cheese (shredded) brand of your choice.
1/2 cup of mozzarella shredded cheese
A pot for boiling the pasta noodles and a huge pan to put it all together for the oven.
Either cheese sticks or Italian flat bread as a side. I'll post a pic of the flatbread I had.
This is what I used tonight, I usually use Bertolli but I couldn't find their Italian sausage flavor. They are both equally delicious! You'll need 2 jars & 1 can of Italian flavored petite diced tomatoes not pictured.This is what I used tonight, I usually use Bertolli but I couldn't find their Italian sausage flavor.

Yep, the whole bag!Yep, the whole bag!
Allow the jars of spaghetti sauce, can of tomatoes, meatballs, all the seasonings listed & season to your own taste, don't over do the cinnamon (1 teaspoon). Bring to a boil & turn it down to simmer while you cook the pasta and preheat the oven to 350.

( Now start cooking the pasta. Add 2 TBLS of Olive oil so they won't stick and some salt. Cook them completely or they'll soak up too much of the sauce in the oven and turn out dry Sad

    I am definitely going to try this. Hubby loves spaghetti type dishes. Usually he gets kind of pissy when I don't use spaghetti and instead use that type pasta but I think I'll give it another go.

    Jamers, do they make that flatbread without the shrimp on it?

    lol aud, mine gets mad at that kind of noodles too. Usually when I make pasta I make both penne and spaghetti.

    Mine gets mad at spaghetti, oddly. He likes the penne or the bowties. Prefers ravioli or tortellini, but spaghetti is a last resort for him and angel hair is my fav. shrug

    This recipe is fantastic- looks delicious and like something the boy would flip for. Thanks for sharing!

    finnlover! I should've just wrote 'butter'
    aud-Stouffers had 'chicken,bacon,&spinach' ,steak fajita, the one I used which was 'shrimp & roasted garlic', and plain cheese but I'm sure there's probably more to choose from.
    If y'all like this dish more on the runny side, you should add 2 cans of diced tomatoes instead of one.

    Laughing out loud I felt a bit stupid asking! But it kinda looked like some type of cream cheese too.

    Hey, I had to ask you what gravlax was. I still couldn't pronounce (let alone identify) a couple of the things on your list. Eye-wink
