Ingredients:
2 25 oz. jars marinara sauce (or use my homemade marinara sauce, found in Meals)

1 15 oz. pkg ricotta cheese
2 eggs
1/2 C fresh basil, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced

In a medium bowl, mix ricotta, eggs, garlic, rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, until combined.
Fold in basil.
Grease the inside of crock pot with non-stick spray or butter.
Pour 2 C pasta sauce into bottom of crock pot. Layer 1/3 of penne noodles on sauce, followed by 1/2 of ricotta mixture and 1/3 of Italian cheese blend.
Repeat for a second layer.
