Baked Ziti with Turkey Sausage (Recipe)

I am a huge fan of using my crockpot. It is so easy to use and doesn't take a long time to cook through. For this recipe I decided to pull out my crockpot and see how this dish turned out. I found this recipe on Pinterest but I tweaked it a little bit. This recipe is SO easy to make and you will not regret it. It is full of cheese and so much flavor. 

What you will need for this recipe:

-13oz of turkey smoked sausage (hillshire brand is perfect) 

-1tsp of minced garlic

-1 container of Parmesan cheese

-2egg whites (3/4 egg white if you're using liquid egg whites) 

-2cups of shredded mozzarella cheese 

-1/2 tsp of oregano 

-2jars of spaghetti sauce

-1 box of uncooked ziti pasta 

-1/4 tsp of parsley( optional) 

Now it's time to cook! 

1. Grease the inside of your slow cooker. This step is VERY important please don't skip this. You will regret it. 

2. Cook the sausage and minced garlic in a skillet. Let the sausage brown and drain the oil. Put aside. 

3. Mix together the 3/4 egg cup of mozzarella cheese, 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, 2 egg whites, and 1tsp of oregano in a bowl. Set aside. 

4. Evenly spread 2cups of spaghetti sauce to the bottom of your crockpot. Layer with 1/2 of cooked sausage. 1/2 mozzarella cheese, 1/2 of the uncooked pasta, 1/2 of the mixture of the egg whites with the cheese. Repeat steps until you're done with your ingredients. Too with remaining sauce, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. 

5. You're done! Cook on LOW for 4-5hrs or until pasta is tender.
