Description

Frozen meatballs, rotini pasta, and marinara sauce come together in an comforting casserole.

Ingredients

8 (10 ounce) packages rotini pasta
1 (24 ounce) jar prepared marinara sauce
1 cup water
1/2 cup prepared pizza sauce
1/2 cup milk
10 frozen cooked meatballs, thawed
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2 Stir rotini, marinara sauce, water, pizza sauce, and milk together in a bowl. Pour into a deep baking dish; pasta should be completely submerged in sauce. Cover dish tightly with foil.
3 Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; uncover and arrange meatballs on top, pushing them partially into pasta and sauce; cover tightly with foil.
4 Bake until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, 20 to 30 minutes more.
5 Uncover; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese; return to oven for 5 minutes. Remove and let cool 5 minutes before serving.
