Baked Penne with Meatballs

These baked penne with meatballs is so easy to do and it taste wonderful. The sauce is flavour full and the meatballs is oh-so-good! Of course I change the recipe a bit to make it a little better for our taste. Few months ago I use this recipe but I forget the recipe when I want to make it again. And after high and long search I found it. Yay! I scaled the recipe down to 2 person and I still have balance in the fridge. You can just simply put everything into a pot that you want to bake it and grated generous amount of cheese and there is your lunh. Quick and easy.
