Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup Italian seasoned dry bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 (26 ounce) jar Ragu® Old World Style® Pasta Sauce
  • 8 ounces spaghetti, cooked and drained

Directions

  1. Combine ground beef, bread crumbs and egg in medium bowl; shape into 12 meatballs.
  2. Bring pasta sauce to a boil over medium-high heat in 3-quart saucepan. Gently stir in uncooked meatballs.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer covered, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes or until meatballs are done. Serve over hot spaghetti and garnish, if desired, with grated Parmesan cheese.

Footnotes

  • Tip: Try adding a cube of mozzarella cheese to the center of each meatball for an easy but fun recipe twist.
