Rotini pasta is tossed with Italian sausage meatballs, spaghetti sauce, and mozzarella cheese then baked to cheesy perfection. A delicious spin on spaghetti night!

Baked Italian Sausage Rotini
We’re putting a little spin on spaghetti night! This recipe is an easy and unique way to make spaghetti and meatballs without a ton of ingredients. The Italian sausage meatballs add a ton of flavor that the entire family is going to love. My kids beg for more when they eat this!

Baked Italian Sausage Rotini

My favorite part of this dish is the baked cheesiness that goes on top. I love the flavor and texture of pasta that’s been baking in the oven under a pile of cheese. I can’t even type that without drooling!
