Easy Baked Rigatoni with Chicken Meatballs

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. 2

    Cook the pasta according to the package. When the pasta is done cooking drain it and put it in a large mixing bowl. Add the chicken meatballs, tomato sauce and half of the fresh basil.

  3. 3

    In a large non-stick baking dish pour the pasta and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the pasta with the shredded mozzarella and the remaining fresh basil.

  4. 4

    Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Garnish with fresh basil, parsley and grated parmesan cheese.

Notes

Feel free to use your favorite tomato sauce or a homemade sauce that you might have in the freezer. You can use whatever pasta you like but I do think the bigger pastas work best. Store the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. To reheat you can heat this up in the microwave or slowly in the oven. To freeze, let the pasta cool completely and then store in an airtight container or a large freezer friendly ziplock bag for up to 3 months. To thaw, leave in the fridge overnight.
