Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, basil, 1/2 cup Parmesan, oregano, garlic, and pepper. In another bowl thin tomato sauce with 1/2 cup water.

  2. Spread 1/4 of the tomato sauce over bottom of a 5-quart pan or larger slow cooker. Top with 1/3 of the noodles, breaking noodles and slightly overlapping the pieces to fit in an even layer. Spread with 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture, covering noodles completely. Top with 1/3 the meatballs and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat sauce, noodle, ricotta cheese, meatball, and cheese layers twice. Spread with remaining sauce mixture.

  3. Cover and cook on low 4 hours, or until noodles are tender. Uncover, sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Cover and let stand 10 minutes to melt cheese.
