1 In a large skillet brown beef and onion. Add garlic and cook for one minute. Drain.

2 Add spaghetti sauce and water and simmer for about 5 minutes.

3 Mix ricotta, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella, 2 Tablespoons Parmesan, egg and parsley.

4 Pour 1 cup of spaghetti meat sauce into a 4 to 6 quart sized slow cooker. Place half of the noodles and half of the ricotta mixture on top of the sauce. Cover with 2 cups meat sauce. Top with remaining noodles (If the noodles don''t fit exactly break them to fit) and cheese mixture and meat sauce.

5 Cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or until noodles are soft. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of mozzarella and remaining parmesan. Cover with the lid to melt the cheese and let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.

6 Do not overcook and don''t try to speed up the process by cooking it on high.
