Ingredients
Method
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet (or if you're using the Cuisnart multifunction slow cooker, press the sauté button and lower the temperature to 275 degrees). Sauté the onion for about 5-6 minutes, lower the heat to 250 degrees, add the garlic and sauté another minute. Add the Frozen Quorn Grounds and sauté 6-8 minutes until lightly browned. Remove the cooked onion, garlic and Grounds to a bowl.
- Put all of the uncooked ziti in a bowl, mix in 3 cups of sauce, and stir well. Put half of the mixture in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Mix the ricotta, beaten egg, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, minced parsley, torn basil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spread the ricotta mixture over the sauced ziti, and then put the onion, garlic, and grounds mixture as the next layer. Top with a cup or so of the tomato sauce and then top with half the shredded mozzarella.
- Put the remaining sauced ziti as your next layer, and then cover with the rest of the tomato sauce.
- Cover the slow cooker. Turn to high for 3-4 hours or low for 7-8 hours.
- In the last 20-30 minutes of cooking, check to make sure that the ziti is tender and fully cooked. Top with the remaining mozzarella and the remaining 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan, and let it look for the last 20-30 minutes until the top layer of cheese is melted but not crusty.
