- 1 box penne pasta
- 25 ounce jar your favorite bottled marinara sauce
- 15 meatballs, I used Trader Joe’s frozen turkey meatballs
- 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
- sprinkle garlic powder
- mozzarella balls cut in half
- small black olives, cut into slices
- cut up peppers, any color or colors
- ketchup from a squeeze bottle
Instructions
-
1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees, have a casserole or baking dish sprayed with cooking spray and set aside.
2.Cook pasta to al dente. Try not to over cook and make too soft. Drain and pour into casserole dish.
3.Pour sauce over pasta and gently mix in.
4.Microwave the meatballs just until they are not frozen solid and cut up 6 of them into quarters and mix into pasta.
5.Toss in the parmesan and grated cheddar along with the garlic powder. Mix gently. Now, mix in the cut up peppers.
6.Bake for about 30 minutes until hot. You will probably see some bubbling. Take out, let sit on the counter for a few minutes.
7.Place the cheese halves on top of each meatball then the olive. Now you can drizzle the ketchup around the cheese balls. Enjoy!
