When you have meatballs in the freezer to use up, this is a great go-to meal. I created it to feed two comfortably, and it can easily be doubled to feed a crowd.

Ingredients

8 (10 ounce) packages rotini pasta
1 (24 ounce) jar prepared marinara sauce
1 cup water
½ cup prepared pizza sauce
½ cup milk
10 frozen cooked meatballs, thawed
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Stir rotini, marinara sauce, water, pizza sauce, and milk together in a bowl. Pour into a deep baking dish; pasta should be completely submerged in sauce. Cover dish tightly with foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; uncover and arrange meatballs on top, pushing them partially into pasta and sauce; cover tightly with foil.
Bake until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, 20 to 30 minutes more.
Uncover; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese; return to oven for 5 minutes. Remove and let cool 5 minutes before serving.

Cook's Note:

This can be made with any homemade or store-bought pasta sauce, any homemade or store-bought meatballs, and mozzarella cheese, if you prefer.
