1 large egg, lightly beaten

1 carton (15 ounces) ricotta cheese

4 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

LETS MAKE IT-

Cook noodles according to package directions; drain. Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, cook sausage, beef and onion over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until meat is no longer pink, breaking up meat into crumbles. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Drain.

Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, water, sugar, 3 tablespoons parsley, basil, fennel, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In a small bowl, mix egg, ricotta cheese, and remaining parsley and salt.

Preheat oven to 375°. Spread 2 cups meat sauce into an ungreased 13x9-in. baking dish. ( taller sides recommended).

Layer with three noodles and a third of the ricotta mixture. Sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining meat sauce and cheeses (dish will be full).

Crockpot Angel Chicken

Crockpot Angel Chicken

Ingredients

4 boneless chicken breasts
1 (0.7-oz) packet Italian dressing mix
4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
3 Tbsp butter, room temperature
1 (10.5-oz) can Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup
¾ cup chicken broth or white wine
Cooked angel hair pasta

Step-by-Step Instructions

Place chicken in the crockpot.
In a saucepan, combine Italian dressing mix, cream cheese, butter, soup, and broth. Heat over medium-high heat just until the cream cheese is melted and incorporated into the soup.
Pour sauce over chicken. Cover the slow cooker.
Turn crock-pot on low for 4 to 6 hours. Serve over cooked angel hair pasta.

Tips for Success

For the best results, ensure the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature before mixing. This helps them blend smoothly into the sauce. Also, avoid lifting the lid of the slow cooker while cooking, as this can release heat and extend cooking time.

Additional Tips and Variations

If you’re not a fan of chicken broth, you can substitute it with white wine for a more robust flavor. Additionally, adding some fresh herbs like parsley or basil just before serving can elevate the dish’s flavor profile.
