Preparation
STEP 1

Lightly coat a large skillet with olive oil and heat to medium-high. Add sausage and brown well. Remove to a bowl and return pan to heat.

STEP 2

Add onion and half of garlic to pan, sauté until onion is tender. Add about 1/4 cup water and boil, scraping up any brown bits from bottom of pan. Return sausage to onion/garlic mixture. Stir in diced and crushed tomatoes, 2 teaspoons dried basil and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

STEP 3

In a separate bowl, stir together remaining garlic, basil and oregano, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan and ricotta. Season with salt and pepper.

STEP 4

Spoon about a quarter of the tomato/sausage mixture into the bottom of a 5-quart crockpot. Top with noodles (break them up if needed to fit in the pot). Top with more tomato/sausage sauce, then about 1/2 of the cheese mixture. Repeat layers, finishing with sauce. Top with remaining mozzarella. Cook on high 4-6 hours, or until noodles are tender.
