Ingredienser

16 oz uncooked pasta (choose a short variety, like ziti, bowtie, or rotini pasta)

3 cups water

24 oz jar of pasta sauce

14 oz frozen, precooked meatballs (thaw overnight in the refrigerator before using)

1 tsp salt (optional)

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

parsley (optional, for serving)

shredded Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Fremgangsmåte

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Add the uncooked pasta, water, jar of sauce, meatballs, salt and red pepper to a large 9x13 inch baking dish and mix well to combine. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Remove the aluminum foil and give the dish a good stir. Check the pasta to make sure it’s cooked al dente (soft, but still sort of firm). If not, cover again and bake for 5-10 minutes more.

Remove the casserole dish from the oven and add 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Stir well to combine, and using the remaining cheese, sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top of the casserole. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Allow the casserole to sit for 5 minutes prior to serving. Top with parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired.
