This slow cooker version of a pasta casserole helps you get it done with much less work than traditional recipes. Most of the work is handled by the slow cooker but you must stir once to ensure the pasta cooks evenly. Delicious ziti cooks with fresh spring zucchini and asparagus and luscious herbs richly flavor the tomato base. Add in your favorite spring vegetable if you like. Serve this casserole with some grilled shrimp of chicken for a heartier meal or throw together mixed greens with sliced radishes, cucumbers and a sprinkle or red wine vinegar for a crunchy spring salad.
