Cheesy Italian Meatball Casserole
Makes: 8 to 10 servings
Prep: 30 minutes Bake: 45 minutes
Ingredients
16 ounces dried ziti or penne pasta - I used Cavatappi because I'm partial to that shape...
1 26-ounce jar tomato pasta sauce
1 16-ounce package Italian-style frozen cooked meatballs (32), thawed
1 15-ounce can Italian-style tomato sauce
1 15-ounce carton ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 ounces)
Directions
1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Return to pan. Stir in pasta sauce, meatballs, and tomato sauce. Transfer to an ungreased 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish or 3-quart rectangular casserole. Bake, covered, in a 350 degrees F oven for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine ricotta cheese and Parmesan cheese. Uncover pasta mixture and spoon ricotta mixture in mounds over pasta mixture. Cover loosely; bake about 10 minutes more or until heated through. Top with mozzarella cheese and bake, uncovered, for 5 minutes more. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
