Are you looking for a mouthwatering dish that requires minimal effort? Look no further than crock pot baked ziti! This classic Italian recipe is not only incredibly delicious, but it’s also a breeze to prepare. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a hearty and satisfying meal that will impress your family and friends. Let’s dive into the details of this delectable dish!
To start, gather all the necessary ingredients. You’ll need ricotta cheese, eggs, salt, basil, pepper, parmesan cheese, marinara sauce, gluten-free penne pasta, and shredded mozzarella cheese. These ingredients come together to create a harmonious blend of flavors that will leave you craving for more.
Layering the Flavors
Begin by spraying the entire slow cooker insert with non-stick spray. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with the eggs, parmesan cheese, basil, salt, and pepper. This mixture will provide a creamy and cheesy base for the baked ziti.
Next, cover the bottom of the slow cooker with a layer of marinara sauce. This rich and savory sauce will infuse the pasta with incredible flavor. Then, layer the uncooked penne pasta on top of the sauce. The slow cooker will work its magic, cooking the pasta to perfection.
Now, it’s time to add the ricotta mixture. Take five scoops of the mixture and drop them onto the pasta. This will create pockets of creamy goodness throughout the dish. Top the ricotta mixture with a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese. The cheese will melt and become beautifully golden as the ziti cooks.
This looks amazing 🤩

Yes and why is it called baked ziti when you use penne?
Ziti is hard to find these days – or out west anyway.
Go to print recipe, you’ll find measurements!
Just use your judgment on how thick you want each layer
Please break down the mounts for the ingredients. Thank you
Would be great to have measurements for ingredients
Need measurements for ingredients
stupid recipe with nooo measurments
You do not need measurements for the cheese mixture- everyone knows how to make it. In addition, you can’t go wrong – use common sense – for the sauce, make your own (or I guess buy 2 jars) cheese get a large container of Ricotta, toss in about a cup of mozzarella or better yet a block and shred your own, add salt, pepper, 2 eggs and parsley ( fresh if you have it) grab 2 boxes of penne and layer it with the leftover sauce and mozzarella
I forgot add about a half of a cup of the parmigiana cheese to the cheese mix and save a little for the pasta when it’s done
I’m not going to follow you anymore because you don’t provide the recipe. Just all about advertising $$$
Agree
Amen

You stole this recipe and photos from crockpotsandflipflops.com! That’s why you don’t know anything about it. Pathetic leech.
So sick of “silent members MUST leave a comment” … then (eventually) a 20 min article scroll of how to make this while learning how to make 5 similar meals. Waste of time.
