Step-by-Step Instructions
The first step in creating this delightful casserole is preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven warms up, grab a large mixing bowl and combine the marinara sauce, water, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning. It’s such a comforting aroma that fills the air at this point; you can almost taste the Italian flavors coming together! Next, toss in the uncooked pasta and frozen meatballs until they’re nicely coated in the sauce mixture. Transfer everything into your baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake this beauty, covered with foil, for about 30 minutes. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
