Meatball Casserole

There are so many days when I find myself super busy with the hustle and bustle of life that I forget all about making dinner. There are also those days where I know I'm going to be busy and I need to get something started in the morning as I won't have time to make a meal later on in the day. That's when recipes like these come in handy.

1 (25 oz) jar marinara sauce
3 cups water
1 (14 oz) pkg cocktail-size meatballs, cooked
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1½ cup mozzarella cheese
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Garnish:
Parmesan cheese
fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano or parsley, chopped

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C/200°C fan, Gas Mark 7).

In a large baking dish, stir together marinara sauce, water, meatballs and seasoning. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes.

Uncover; stir. Sprinkle cheeses over the top and bake uncovered for 10-15 more minutes (or until cheese is melted and pasta is tender).

Let sit for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional Parmesan and fresh herbs, if desired.
