  • 24 frozen beef meatballs (about 1 1/2 pounds), thawed

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ziti, thawed meatballs, marinara sauce, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning. Stir until everything is well coated in sauce.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top.
