Pasta casseroles are always a fan favorite on 30Seconds – and there are so many reasons why! Many pasta casserole recipes are easy to make, are filling, easy on the budget and even the pickiest eaters usually love pasta. This fantastic dump-and-bake linguine meatball casserole recipe is one of the easiest to make.
The linguine meatball casserole has just four ingredients that need to be added to your shopping list: linguine noodles, a jar of spaghetti sauce, frozen meatballs and mozzarella cheese. The ingredients are put into a baking dish along with 3 cups of water, covered and baked until the pasta is tender. Stir the casserole and continue to bake, then top with the shredded cheese and bake until hot and melty.
Serve this dump-and-bake casserole recipe with your favorite side dishes. We like a fresh garden salad and hot crusty bread or rolls right out of the oven.
