About
Papa's Meatball Bake is what spaghetti and meatballs should be like... well, almost. It uses rotini instead of spaghetti. But that's okay, rotini is great for scooping up rich, savory marinara sauce! And Papa's Meatball Bake still has the tender, beefy meatballs and the melty, creamy cheese that you love! Mmm, scoop yourself some of this bake and then settle in for a night of warm comfort!
Ingredients
- 1 (32-ounce) jar marinara sauce
- 10 ounces rotini pasta, cooked
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 (26-ounce) package frozen meatballs
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 2 -In a 9x13-inch casserole dish, add 1/2 cup of the marinara and spread it out evenly to coat the bottom.
Step 3 -Add the pasta to the baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Step 4 -Sprinkle the pasta with 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
Step 5 -Place the frozen meatballs evenly on top of the cheese layer.
Step 6 -Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the meatball layer in the baking dish.
Step 7 -Top the sauce layer with the remaining mozzarella cheese, the parmesan cheese, and the Italian seasoning.
Step 8 -Bake until the meatballs are warmed through and the cheese is bubbling, about 25 minutes.
Step 9 -Serve.
