I have partnered with Hamburger Helper® to create this post. All opinions are mine

One Pan Pasta And Meatballs

Yes! It is possible! Cook a pasta and meatball recipe using only one pan.  The less mess there is to clean up the more time you get to spend with the family. Unless you find washing, mopping and scrubbing relaxing. I don’t 😉 The reason why I love this recipe is that is not only convenient, but the meatballs are super tender and tasty. I use a different technique than what you’re used to and it makes a whole lot of difference in texture and flavor.

The pasta and the sauce, well I got an easy shortcut that makes this process a whole lot quicker! And with this short cut you’ll get a delicious dinner on the table in 20 minutes or less. It’s summer and I’m feeling lazy, so short cuts in this house are a must.

You might be wondering, which shortcut did I use? Hamburger Helper® Tomato Basil Penne Flavor. And since it’s hamburger month you can get a $0.50 off coupon by clicking here. So stock up and get a few boxes because this One Pan Pasta And Meatballs will soon become a weekly staple in your household.

My kids loved them! Each one eats it in her own special way. My oldest one like to break the meatballs up in little pieces while the other one takes a fork and mushes them. Since the balls are so tender, it is very easy.

What I do first, is mix my ground beef and then shape my meatballs. Then I brown them and then place them in a pan with the sauce and uncooked pasta. Place a lid on it and let the pasta and meatballs finish cooking together. That’s it! Super easy.
