Recipe Notes
- Try shredded provolone cheese instead of mozzarella.
- Add some freshly grated Parmesan cheese with the mozzarella, if desired.
- Be sure the aluminum foil is tight to keep the heat in and help cook the pasta.
Here's how to make it:
- Put the pasta, spaghetti sauce, 3 cups water and meatballs into a 13x9-inch baking dish. Stir to combine. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake in a preheated 425-degree F oven for about 30 minutes. Uncover, stir and continue to bake for about 10 minutes. (Stirring is important! Don't skip this step.)
- Top with the shredded cheese and bake about 5 to 10 minutes more.
