  1. 1

    Make the Meatballs

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. When ingredient appears in recipe, remove from packaging. Thoroughly rinse any fresh produce and pat dry.

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, 1 tsp. olive oil, Parmesan, panko, half the seasoning blend (reserve remaining for pasta), 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Form into eight equally-sized meatballs.

    Assemble the Meal

    Combine pasta, red bell peppers, remaining seasoning blend, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper in provided tray. Top with meatballs.

    In another mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup water and marinara. Top meatballs with marinara-water mixture.

  3. 3

    Finish the Dish

    Cover with foil and bake in hot oven, 15 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven and uncover. Top with mozzarella and pepperoni. Bake uncovered until meatballs reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 10-15 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven. Garnish with red pepper flakes (to taste). Bon appétit!
