I have experimented with quite a few crockpot recipes. You can see all of my CrockPot Recipes here. This one has become one of my favorites. I just pair it with a yummy Wedge Salad and BINGO an easy dinner.With summer just around the corner I will be using the CrockPots more often. No sense in heating up the kitchen by turning on the oven.

Next time you are looking to have a easy dinner idea, consider this CrockPot Pasta bake Recipe. I think it’s going to be great to toss together as a side dish for a grill out too! I was really worried about the noodles not cooking, etc when I made this the first time. It came out perfect with no issues with the noodles being undercooked. I did get some slight browning on the one edge of this specific time I made it. I just removed a few piece (I had a hot spot in my crockpot) and it was GREAT! My hubby has been amazed every time I make this as it is so simple and turns out great.

    Instructions unfortunately are not clear – pasta needs to be cooked beforehand, not just rinsed. I tried this recipe tonight and the bottom layer of pasta was edible, but the upper layer was not cooked at all!

    Is the pasta cooked first?

    I’m planning to try this but I am a bit confused- the pasta isn’t cooked first, just rinsed? Sorry if I misunderstood
