You may have to do this in batches to give required space between meatballs for browning. When all are browned reduce heat to low and add the jar of sauce, cover and simmer for 1 hour. Set timer for 45 minutes. When timer goes off prepare pasta, drain, then add straight to sauce and meatballs. Toss and serve 2 meatballs with about 2 ounces of pasta per serving.
