Baked Penne with Meatballs! No-boil, fail-proof, garlic-buttery, easy dreamy weeknight dinner. SO GOOD! 

No-Boil Baked Penne with Meatballs

whole wheat penne pasta (half of the box)

can crushed fire roasted tomatoes

milk (I used whole milk)

cup Land O Lakes® Butter, melted

garlic,

teaspoon garlic powder

onion powder

oregano

salt

spinach

Parmesan cheese

Mix all of the baked penne ingredients together in a 9&#215;13 baking dish. Cover tightly with foil (double layer isn&#8217;t a bad idea).

Remove foil (HOT HOT HOT) and give it a stir. Add spinach and top with Parm, and brown it up for 3-5 minutes under the broiler. Let it stand for a few minutes so the sauce has a chance to thicken up. Voila!

Hi Rachel, I've tried it yesterday and I have replaced butter with olive oil. Obviously it turned out a little less creamy than pictured, but it worked well.

This is a MUST MAKE. I have to make this penne this weekend! Comfort food at it's finest!

Thanks for posting this recipe! It solved my dinner yesterday :-) I love the very quick prep: a few minutes and then I only needed to wait for the oven to do its job: my ideal lifestyle.

So good. I added some jalapeños for a kick of spice, and this was divine! So glad I finally tried one of your recipes out - I'm hooked.

I made this tonight! I loved the flavor but gave it 4/5 stars because I didn't think the whole grain penne held up to being cooked in the oven. Still an easy recipe (if you make the meatballs ahead of time) for a hearty weeknight meal.
