Easy Pasta Bake with Mostaccioli and Meatballs

This baked mostaccioli with meatballs is an incredibly easy dish to prepare for a potluck dinner, a football party, or just for your family at home. It's easy on the wallet because it has few ingredients and is great when served with garlic bread.

Ingredients

¾ pound mostaccioli pasta
1 (15.5 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce, or more to taste
12 frozen cooked meatballs, thawed
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
Transfer pasta to a large glass baking dish. The pasta should reach about halfway to the rim of the dish. Cover with as much spaghetti sauce as you like, but at least enough to almost cover pasta.
Place meatballs in a microwave-safe dish and heat in the microwave for about 3 minutes. Spread out over pasta. Cover entirely with mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and cheese is completely melted, 15 to 20 minutes.
