– 3 cups marinara sauce
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 cup water

Equipment Needed
– 9×13 inch baking dish

Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s warming up, grab your baking dish and make sure it’s nice and clean. I love using a glass dish for this recipe because I can see all the gorgeous layers as they cook! Begin by placing the frozen meatballs right at the bottom of the dish, spreading them out to cover the surface evenly. Then, sprinkle the uncooked pasta on top. The pasta will soak up all the delicious sauce as it cooks, so no need to cook it beforehand. I promise, it works like a charm! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
