♥ SLOW COOKER MEATY PASTA SAUCE ♥

This recipe is so quick and easy, you'll have dinner on the table in less then 30 minutes.

Ingredients:

1 box pasta

1 cup mozzarella cheese

1 cup Parmesan cheese 

Optional .... French Fried Onions
26 oz. jar or can spaghetti sauce
20 to 22 ounce package frozen completely cooked meatballs or chicken breasts 

1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon parsley
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon red pepper
1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder

2 cups water

Preparation:

Spray slow cooker with cooking. Add sauce, meatballs/ chicken, all seasonings and water.  Cook  for 5-7 hours on low until hot. Try to make sure that the meat is completely immersed in the sauce. You can cook pasta separately, which I did or add to slow cooker. If in slow cooker, turn the crockpot/slow cooker to high, then stir in the pasta.  Cover and cook on high for 20-25 minutes, stirring once, until the pasta is tender. Top with mozzarella cheese about 5 minutes before pasta is ready. Serve and sprinkle Parmesan cheese and if you want a little kick ... top with French Fried Onions.  Serves 4-6....ENJOY!!
