- Next, add the dry pasta, crushed fire roasted tomatoes, non-dairy milk, olive oil, mashed garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and kosher salt to a 9x13 baking dish. Mix to fully combine. If you want to use glass meal-prep containers instead, divide the mixture evenly amongst the four containers.
- Then, add in the meatballs or protein of choice.
- Transfer the baking dish or glass containers to the oven and allow them to bake for 35-40 minutes.
- Then, turn on the broiler and broil them for another 3-4 minutes to brown.
