directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Boil pasta according to directions- making sure to not overcook (al dente)!
  • If meatballs are frozen, thaw--I like to brown mine either on the stove or in the oven.
  • Combine the ricotta, sour cream and Italian seasoning- I add an extra dash of garlic and freshly ground pepper.
  • Spray a 9x13 deep baker with Pam.
  • Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of baking pan.
  • Top this with 1/2 of the pasta shells drained.
  • Top with the ricotta mixture.
  • Top with all the meatballs.
  • Then layer with remaining 1/2 of shell pasta.
  • Top with all the sauce.
  • Top with the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese (I just sprinkle a little on top).
  • Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes until heated through and cheese is bubbly!
