A few days ago, I shared a recipe for baked meatballs. When I make up a big batch of meatballs, I like to use them in a lot of different ways. Using them on subs (with tons of sauce and cheese thankyouverymuch) and in pasta dishes are probably my favorite ways, though. 
We eat a lot of baked pasta anyway. It’s easy, inexpensive, and everyone will eat it, so baked pasta is a part of our regular dinner rotation. 
This Skillet Meatball Pasta is an easy dinner that doesn’t take much time to prepare. I like to cook onions and garlic to add to my sauce because it adds a nice layer of extra flavor to the pasta. If you have homemade sauce, feel free to sub it for the jarred kind.
Also, I like to serve this with my 30 Minute Garlic Knots on the side to soak up all the extra sauce.
