The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.


1 jar (14 ounce size) spaghetti sauce
1 can (10.75 ounce size) condensed cheddar cheese soup
1 cup water
3 cups uncooked mini lasagna noodles (mafalda)
1 cup frozen bell pepper and onion stir-fry, large pieces cut up
1 package (16 ounce size) frozen precooked Italian meatballs
1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
In ungreased 12 X 8 inch (2 quart) baking dish, combine spaghetti sauce, soup and water; mix well. Stir in uncooked noodles, and bell pepper and onion stir-fry.
Add meatballs; turn to coat with sauce (Noodles should be completely covered with sauce). Cover tightly with foil; refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
When ready to bake, heat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake covered for 45 minutes.
Uncover baking dish; sprinkle with cheese and parsley. Bake uncovered for an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until casserole is bubbly and cheese is melted.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

This was so delicious! I used homemade meatballs but that was the only other difference.

I can't in good faith give this recipe 5 stars purely on the fact that it uses too many packaged/pre-made ingredients. However, it was tasty :) I really despise using canned/boxed/precooked foods in recipes but I needed a simple recipe that I could make ahead of time. This one fit the bill. I couldn't find mini-lasagna noodles so I used bow-tie pasta. If for some reason you can't make this 8 hours in advance, go ahead and partially cook the pasta before adding it to the casserole. It'll finish cooking while it bakes.
