Vorbereitungszeit 20 mins
Kochzeit 2 hours 30 mins
Portionen 6-8 servings
Zutaten
2 (25 ounce) jars of pasta sauce
15 oz tomato sauce
1 pound UNCOOKED penne pasta
15 oz ricotta cheese
2 eggs
⅓ cup freshly chopped basil
2 cups of freshly grated parmesan cheese (I bought an 8 oz block and had a little left over)
1 cup grated Asiago cheese (or use shredded mozzarella)
Anweisungen
Combine ricotta, eggs, and basil in a bowl and stir well
In a large bowl, combine both pasta sauces and tomato sauce together.
Grate Parmesan cheese (I used around 2 cups) and set aside.
Grease the inside of a 6 qt slow cooker (I used vegan butter spread but you can use whatever you have)
Add 2⅓ cups of pasta sauce to the bottom of the slow cooker
Add ⅓ of the uncooked penne.
Dot on half of the ricotta mixture and spread out evenly.
Add half of the Parmesan cheese (1 cup)
Add another 2⅓ cups of sauce mixture
Add an additional ⅓ of the uncooked penne.
Dot on the remaining ricotta and spread out.
Sprinkle on the remaining parmesan cheese (1 cup)
Add the last ⅓ of the uncooked penne.
Top with the remaining 2⅓ cups of sauce mixture
Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours, or until pasta is al dente (we cooked ours for around 2½ hours)
During the last few minutes, add asiago cheese (or sub mozzarella) to the top and allow to melt
Serve alone or topped with red pepper flakes and served with garlic bread
Enjoy!
