Slow Cooker Zucchini Pasta

This was a tasty way to use up some of our garden zucchini. Super simple and delicious!

Cheesy Zucchini Pasta
(Adapted from Skinny Ms)

1 (25 oz.) jar marinara sauce

3 cups (uncooked) whole grain ziti or penne shells

2 cups low fat cottage cheese

2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

1 large zucchini cut into 1/4” slices (I'd estimate about 2-3 cups)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

kosher or sea salt to taste

1 tsp. dried parsley

1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

I used a 6 quart slow cooker. 

In a medium size bowl, combine the cottage cheese and mozzarella. Add in your spices and mix until well combined. Spray your cooker with nonstick cooking spray and spread 1 cup of the marinara in the bottom. In another bowl combine the remaining sauce with your uncooked pasta. Put half the pasta mixture in the slow cooker, top with half the zucchini slices and then half the cheese mixture. Repeat with layers with the remaining ingredients. Sprinkle the top with your Parmesan cheese. 

Cook on low for 2 1/2 - 3 hours.
