meatball casserole

One Pan Meatball Casserole is an easy, dump it and forget, family favorites.  I&#x27;ve included options for making it in the slow cooker or as a freezer meal!

ziti pasta

marinara sauce

milk

water

garlic powder

onion powder

oregano

salt

Meatballs (, fully cooked, thawed)

mozzarella ((or Italian blend cheese))

Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped herbs (such as basil

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

In a 9x13 inch baking dish stir together uncooked pasta, marinara sauce, water, milk, spices and meatballs.

Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes.

Uncover; stir. Check the pasta for doneness. We want it to be al dente (firm, but almost perfectly cooked). If it’s still too hard, cover the dish and return to the oven for a few minutes.

Sprinkle mozzarella over the top and bake uncovered for 5-10 more minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving, to allow the sauce to thicken up.

white bread (crusts removed)

milk (I used 2%)

parmigiano (freshly grated)

turkey

pepper

pelati tomatoes (nothing added) ((14 ounces each))

basil (if you prefer you can use 5-6 fresh basil leaves)

Parmigiano

white sauce (homemade

pasta

Soak the bread in milk for about 2 or 3 minutes, then squeeze out moisture and crumble. In a medium bowl combine the crumbled bread with the ground turkey, parmesan cheese, egg,  and spices, mix well. Form the mixture into small meatballs.

In a large frying pan add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and brown meatballs on all sides. Remove the meatballs and set aside.

FOR THE MEATBALLS

In the same pan add the tomatoes, garlic, spices and water, stir to combine, then add the meatballs and gently combine. Cook until thickened.

While pasta is cooking pre-heat the oven at 350F (180C) and lightly grease a medium to large baking dish.

While the sauce and meatballs are cooking, cook the pasta a little harder than al dent. Add the drained pasta to the sauce, gently combine, then pour into the prepared baking dish, drizzle with a simple white sauce (bought or homemade). (You can omit the white sauce but believe me it is sooo good with it). Sprinkle with the shredded firm mozzarella and freshly grated parmigiano.

Bake for about 15-20 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

FOR THE SAUCE

This looks amazing! i have to make this during the weekend. you have some amazing recipes! 
but I do have one question for you Rosemary, can you make a Chicken boscaiola recipe, please. i am curious as to what mushrooms and ingredients you might use. Thank you.

Oh my goodness, this was absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for such a great dinner dish!

I’ve been gearing up to make this recipe for a week now. So excited! Looking it over again I have two questions:

1. Dried basil or fresh for the sauce?
2. The Parmesan for the meatballs, how much goes in there?

Yum!! It looks wonderful. To me the kitchen is the heart of the whole house and not matter how many times we have family or guests and we're getting the last minute things together we are in the kitchen talking about -----FOOD! I will definitely make this recipe. Grazie!
