Spread frozen meatballs over uncooked rotini along with three additional ingredients in a glass baking dish to make a hearty meal that gets eaten up in no time.

This 5-ingredient oven meatball pasta bake is a true “no-boil” shortcut, letting you skip an extra pot by cooking the dry rotini right in the sauce. By mixing marinara with water, you create a liquid that softens the pasta while warming the fully cooked frozen meatballs at the same time. The end result is a satisfying, one-dish meal with tender pasta and a gooey, golden layer of melted mozzarella on top.
