Number Of Ingredients 8

15 oz ricotta cheese
2 large egg whites
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 jar Prego® Traditional Italian Sauce, divided
16 oz ziti pasta, dried
24 frozen meatballs, (½ ounce (15 G) or 1 ounce (30 G) sized)
2 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta and egg whites.
  • Grease the inside of a slow cooker with nonstick spray. Pour 2 cups (460 G) of Prego® Traditional Italian Sauce into the bottom of the slow cooker, then layer half of the pasta, half of the meatballs, half of the ricotta mixture, and 1 cup (100 G) of mozzarella on top. Repeat to make another layer, then dollop the remaining ½ cup (115 G) tomato sauce on top and sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup (50 G) mozzarella.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3 hours (or low for 6 hours), or until the meatballs are warmed through and the pasta is tender.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
  • Enjoy!
