Crock pot pasta with cheese and Italian sausage is a wonderful weeknight meal for your family.

2 24 ounce jars of spaghetti sauce. I used traditional, but you can use any kind.

2 small cans of tomato sauce

1lb box of Faralle pasta uncooked

1 lb Italian sausage

15 ounce container of ricotta cheese

1 container of whipped Greek yogurt cream cheese

1 package of shredded Italian blend cheese

2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning

Brown Italian sausage for 8-10 min. Once sausage is done, drain any fat and then add half of one bottle of the spaghetti sauce to it. Let it simmer for 1-2 min.

In a bowl combine ricotta cheese, cream cheese and Italian seasoning. Stir until smooth. Spray crock pot with cooking spray. Then layer the ingredients until crock pot is full. Start with a layer of spaghetti sauce, then sausage, then add pasta and cover with tomato sauce, then ricotta cheese mixture and sprinkle with shredded cheese.

I repeated 2 more times. Cook on high for 2 hours, then stir mixture together and turn down to low to cook for 1 more hour. Before serving, put one more layer of shredded cheese on top. It will melt in a minute or so. Serve with your favorite garlic bread. Quick and easy pasta dish!! This makes enough for 6-8 people. We always have plenty of leftovers and it reheats great. Enjoy!!
