No-Boil Pasta

Did you know that you don’t always have to boil pasta? Our take on a classic Italian dish requires only four ingredients in addition to Miceli’s Ricotta Cheese and a slow cooker!

This recipe for Ricotta Slow Cooker Ziti will have you making it repeatedly as it’s so easy and oh-so-good! And guess what? You don’t have to boil the pasta first!

You will need

2 T extra virgin olive oil
16 oz box of ziti pasta
24 oz jar of marinara sauce
14.5 oz can of fire-roasted tomatoes
15 oz of Miceli’s Ricotta Cheese

Instructions

Drizzle oil in the crock of a slow cooker.
Add half a box of ziti—layer with half the can of tomatoes and half the jar of marinara sauce. Drop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese on top, using half the container. Repeat this.
Cook for 2.5 hours on high.
Stir before serving. Add a protein of your choice alongside your favorite salad.
Enjoy!
