Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Mix hamburger and olive oil together so the meat is tenderized and moist.
  3. In a plastic, resealable bag, crush up French’s Fried Onions until they are in very small crumbs or chunks. Mix into a bowl with all the dry seasonings. Make sure it is well mixed and distributed.
  4. Roll hamburger into balls (whatever size you prefer), and cover them with the dry seasoning until they are well-covered and no longer sticky.
  5. Boil your box of Rotini noodles with a teaspoon of olive oil.
  6. Place meatballs on a baking sheet or pan and bake for 10 minutes. Check for browning. Optional: Broil on High for 2 extra minutes for extra crispy
  7. Once noodles are cooked, drain pasta but DO NOT RINSE the noodles and put back in the pot. Empty in the entire jar of pasta sauce and stir. Keep heat on low to remain warm.
  8. Once meatballs and pasta are done, sprinkle parmesan cheese over the entire plate. Optional: Serve with french baguette or garlic bread.
