Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

In a 9x13 inch baking dish stir together uncooked pasta, marinara sauce, water, milk, spices and meatballs.

Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes.

Uncover; stir. Check the pasta for doneness. We want it to be al dente (firm, but almost perfectly cooked). If it’s still too hard, cover the dish and return to the oven for a few minutes.

Sprinkle mozzarella over the top and bake uncovered for 5-10 more minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving, to allow the sauce to thicken up.
