Step-by-Step Instructions
- Spray the slow cooker insert with non-stick spray to prevent sticking and set aside.
- Combine ricotta cheese, eggs, grated Parmesan, salt, basil, and pepper in a bowl and mix until creamy.
- Pour a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of the slow cooker to prevent sticking.
- Spread the uncooked gluten-free penne over the marinara layer evenly.
- Dollop portions of the ricotta mixture over the pasta layer and press down gently.
- Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese atop the ricotta mixture.
- Continue layering with marinara sauce, gluten-free penne, ricotta mixture, and mozzarella cheese for a total of three layers.
- Pour any remaining marinara sauce over the final layer of mozzarella cheese followed by more mozzarella and Parmesan for extra cheesiness.
- Cover and cook on high for 2.5 hours, checking for doneness around the two-hour mark.
- Let sit for about 10 minutes after cooking before serving.

Notes
For best results, use gluten-free pasta that holds up well during cooking. Customize with additional veggies or proteins as desired.
