I am a sucker for a good pasta bake, especially if I don't have to cook the pasta first. This dump and bake meatball pasta dish was a big hit at dinner, and bonus for all you lactose-intolerant folks - it can be made without cheese if needed.

In less than an hour, you can have a warm, gooey, comfort meal on the table for your family, and I guarantee this will be kid-approved. Let's get to the recipe!

Ingredients

• 12 oz. Rotini Pasta
• 24 oz. Marinara/Traditional Spaghetti Sauce
• 16 oz. Fully-Cooked Beef Meatballs
• 3 Cups Water
• 2 Cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. In a 9x13 baking dish, mix together dry pasta, sauce, meatballs, and water. Meatballs should be completely thawed.
3. Bake for 35 minutes without the cheese. 
4. Remove from oven. Top with cheese and bake for another 5-10 minutes or until cheese has started bubbling.
