Equipment

  • 1 slow cooker
  • 1 grater

Ingredients

  • 14 oz frozen meatballs I like Force of Nature Grass-Fed Beef Italian Style
  • 24 oz organic marinara sauce
  • 16 oz organic Beef Bone Broth
  • ½ cup organic milk
  • 1 cup organic small curd cottage cheese
  • 8 oz Penne I like Goodles
  • 1½ cup parmesan grated from a block
  • 1 tsp M Salt

Instructions

  • In a slow cooker, pour in the 24 oz organic marinara sauce, 16 oz organic Beef Bone Broth, ½ cup organic milk, 1 cup organic small curd cottage cheese, 8 oz Penne and 1 tsp M Salt. Add in the 14 oz frozen meatballs.
  • Stir well and place the lid on.
  • Cook on high for 1:30 or low for 3 hours.
  • Remove the lid, sprinkle 1½ cup parmesan grated on top.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Stir everything well before putting the lid on.
Don't lift the lid during cooking.
Grate parmesan fresh — add it after the lid comes off.
Serve immediately. Pasta keeps absorbing liquid as it sits.
High for 1 hour 30 minutes or low for 3 hours.
Check your slow cooker — check at 1 hour 15 minutes on high the first time.
