    This really was sooo easy and really yummy! I added ricotta to the pasta sauce for a little extra something. I think next time I will use more than 2 c of pasta sauce and use the oven instead of the slow-cooker since the edges of the noodles ended up crispy... - 2/8/09

    Very Good
    using ricotta would mean needing more water to keep the noodles moist.
    I imagine alot of the sodium comes from the canned sauce (opt for homemade instead) and the cheese (harder to find a way around that)

    i used zucchini and summer squash because i didn't have any spinach at home. My husband and kids loved it. My boys didn't even notice the extra veggies. - 6/1/09
