2Cook pasta according to package directions; drain well and allow to cool slightly.
3Place one meatball into the center of each pasta shell and arrange filled shells in the prepared dish, stacking some if necessary so they all fit.
4Pour spaghetti sauce evenly over all of the pasta shells. Drizzle water over the sauce. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheese. Cover and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until hot.
