Let’s talk about the ultimate comfort food for busy people: Slow Cooker Baked Ziti. I’ve always loved a good, hearty pasta dish, but after a long day at work, the last thing I want is to spend hours in the kitchen. This recipe has become one of my go-tos because I can set it and forget it! Did you know that baked ziti is actually a close cousin to lasagna, originating from Italian-American cuisine? Well, now you can enjoy all those wonderful flavors with minimal effort.
This slow cooker baked ziti pairs perfectly with a simple green salad drizzled with a light vinaigrette. I also love serving it with some crusty garlic bread on the side to soak up all that delicious sauce. If you’re in the mood for something bubbly, a glass of red wine like a nice Chianti or a crisp sparkling water with a slice of lemon are great choices.
