This fabulous main dish recipe tastes like something from a restaurant. Be sure that all of the pasta is completely covered with liquid so it softens in the crockpot's heat and moisture. You could add more veggies if you'd like.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 6 hours
Total Time: 6 hours, 10 minutes
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 (16-ounce) package frozen fully cooked meatballs (can be thawed)
- 1 (26-ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
- 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1-1/3 cups water
- 2 handfuls spaghetti pasta, broken into pieces
Preparation:
In 4-5 quart slow cooker, place onions. Top with meatballs and diced tomatoes. Add spaghetti sauce to mixture and stir gently. Rinse out the spaghetti sauce jar with some of the water and add it and all of the water to the crockpot.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-1/2 hours, until onions are tender and meatballs are hot.
Stir, then add the broken spaghetti. Stir and make sure that all of the spaghetti is covered by liquid. Cover and cook on high for 20-25 minutes, or until the spaghetti is al dente (tender to the bite, but with a slight firmness in the center). Serve immediately.
