Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs and Sauce

  • 1 lb frozen meatballs
  • 1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Pasta

  • 8 oz uncooked spaghetti
  • 2 cups water

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen meatballs, marinara sauce, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to the crockpot, spreading them evenly.
  2. Cook Meatballs: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 3 to 4 hours, allowing the meatballs to cook through and the flavors to meld.
  3. Add Pasta and Water: Break the uncooked spaghetti in half and add it to the crockpot along with 2 cups of water. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Cook Pasta: Cover and cook on low for an additional 30 to 40 minutes, or until the pasta is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Notes

  • Breaking the spaghetti in half helps it fit better in the crockpot and cook evenly.
  • Stir occasionally during the pasta cooking to prevent noodles from clumping.
  • Adjust seasonings according to taste; you can add fresh basil or parmesan for extra flavor.
  • If sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water to achieve desired consistency.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
