Ingredients

16 ounces rigatoni pasta GF if desired* see notes
48 ounces prepared pasta sauce (2 Jars)
8 ounces ricotta dairy-free if desired* see notes
2 cups shredded mozzarella dairy-free if desired* see notes
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese plus more for garnish dairy-free if desired* see notes
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Herb Butter
2 tablespoons butter dairy-free if desired* see notes
4 cloves garlic pressed
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Pinch garlic salt

Instructions

In a 6-quart slow cooker, combine the pasta with the pasta sauce and stir well.
Stir in half of the mozzarella cheese, then dollop the ricotta evenly throughout. Top with the remaining mozzarella and parmesan.
In a small ramekin, melt the butter with the garlic, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Once melted, pour over the pasta.
Place the lid on the slow cooker and set to LOW 4-5 hours or HIGH 1.5-2.
Serve with additional parmesan cheese

Notes

Brown rice pasta works well for GF. For dairy-free we use Violife mozzarella and parmesan, Kite Hill ricotta, and Miyoko’s butter.
