I don’t know about you, but January’s weather always makes me hungry for warm comfort food. Even though I’m not a huge meatball lover, when I saw this photo of Meatball Baked Ziti on the Damn Delicious website, I fell in love. I’ve gotta have it. All this cheesy goodness is mesmerizing.
I also like that this recipe looks like an absolute winner for picky kids (or spouses), too. Who doesn’t like cheese and pasta and a yummy meatball?
The recipe’s author also says you can use prepared meatballs from the grocery store in order to put the recipe together a little quicker.
