Ingredients:
- 1 (16 ounce) package Barilla uncooked rotini pasta
- 1 (25 ounce) jar marinara sauce
- 3 cups water
- 1 (14 ounce) package fully-cooked miniature meatballs (ensure thawed if frozen)
- 2 cups Kraft shredded mozzarella cheese (or Italian blend)
- Optional: Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped herbs (basil, oregano, parsley) for garnish
Preparation:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large baking dish, combine uncooked pasta, marinara sauce, water, and meatballs. Stir well to ensure even distribution. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil, stir the mixture, and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the pasta is tender.
Garnish with Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot and enjoy this cheesy, hearty, and family-friendly meal!
