Slow Cooked Ziti Casserole


This casserole from Fresh From the Vegetarian Slow Cooker by Robin Robertson was tasty but not worth the calories for the serving size. Especially compared to some of the lower calorie dishes we've been making. It wasn't bad, just didn't feel satisfied for the caloric intake. Was easy to make; just softened up the onion and garlic and put them in the slow cooker with crushed tomatoes, veggie crumbles, red wine, basil, salt, pepper, ziti, and parsley. Added a small amount of freshly grated parmesan after it was cooked and viola! Nice flavor, but probably won't make it again in the near future since we're trying to lose weight and eat lighter meals.
