Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground chicken
- 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 pound campanelle pasta any small shape is fine, such as ziti
- 24 ounces marinara sauce
- 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook for 1 minute less than package directions state.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- While the pasta is cooking, prepare the meatballs. Add all of the ingredients to a large bowl and use your hands to mix them together well. Form into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until cooked through and no longer pink. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
- Add the pasta sauce to a large bowl and stir in the cooked pasta and meatballs. Stir gently to coat everything in sauce.
- Spread half of the pasta and meatballs into a 9x13 baking dish. Top with half of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.

Notes
- To Freeze: Prepare the dish up to the time of baking. Let cool and cover tightly with foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Bake straight from the freezer at 350 degrees for around 2 hours or until hot and bubbly.
