Baked Shells And Meatball Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 lbs prepared frozen or homemade meatballs
    1 (16 ounce) box large shell pasta
    2 cups ricotta cheese
    2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
    1/2 cup sour cream
    1 teaspoon italian seasoning
    1 (28 ounce) jar prepared spaghetti sauce or (28 ounce) jar homemade spaghetti sauce
    grated parmesan cheese, to taste
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
    Boil pasta according to directions- making sure to not overcook (al dente)!
    If meatballs are frozen, thaw--I like to brown mine either on the stove or in the oven.
    Combine the ricotta, sour cream and Italian seasoning- I add an extra dash of garlic and freshly ground pepper.
    Spray a 9x13 deep baker with Pam.
    Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of baking pan.
    Top this with 1/2 of the pasta shells drained.
    Top with the ricotta mixture.
    Top with all the meatballs.
    Then layer with remaining 1/2 of shell pasta.
    Top with all the sauce.
    Top with the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese (I just sprinkle a little on top).
    Bake at 350\u00b0F for 30 minutes until heated through and cheese is bubbly!
