Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s dive into the delightful process! Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While that’s heating up, grab your baking dish and begin by arranging the frozen meatballs evenly across the bottom. I find that spreading them out helps ensure even cooking. Next, sprinkle the uncooked pasta over the meatballs, followed by the marinara sauce and water. Don’t forget to add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper for that extra burst of flavor. It’s starting to smell amazing already! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
