Crock-Pot Baked Ziti is cooked 100% in a slow cooker. The title says "baked." But, there is no baking involved in this easy recipe.
You don't even have to boil the noodles on a stovetop first!

I had no intention of deceiving anyone.
There just isn't a better way to describe baked ziti made in a crock-pot. It tastes just like the traditional baked version and looks like it came out of the oven too. Use the same process to make Crock-Pot Vegetable Lasagna!
It's just a lot easier to make this comfort pasta dish with ricotta, Parmesan, and mozzarella cheeses in a slower cooker. There are fewer dishes to clean up too!
We used no meat so this version is vegetarian. But, we'll show you where to add some.
There's a place for pasta dishes like stovetop Pasta with Olive Oil, Garlic and Mushrooms. But, it's hard to resist the appeal of a meal where the slow cooker does all the work and it tastes so good!

Ingredients
Here's what you'll need to make slow cooker baked ziti:
- Ziti Noodles or Penne Pasta
- 2 jars of pasta sauce - choose the one you love!
- Ricotta cheese
- Parmesan cheese
- Mozzarella cheese
- Egg
- Salt & Pepper
- Basil - fresh is best, but dried is nice too.
Use full or low-fat cheeses depending upon your preference.
Optional: Cooked ground beef or sausage can be added to this recipe if desired.
Step-by-Step Directions
Here's how to make crock-pot baked ziti with detailed instructions below:
Tip: Coat the inside of the crock with cooking spray. (There is very little mess if you do this...really!) A liner does not work well in this recipe.
1. Rinse the noodles in a colander and set them aside. (This step softens the noodles.) Do not cook the noodles first.
2. Make the cheese mixture by combining ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, salt, and pepper. (A little minced garlic would be nice too.) Divide the cheese mixture in half. (Just take a spoon, eyeball it, and draw a line down the middle of the bowl.)
3. Layer the ingredients in the crock-pot as follows:
- Place half the noodles (about 2-½ cups) in the bottom of the crock. Pour 2 cups of pasta sauce over the noodles. (FYI - A 24-ounce jar has 2 ½ cups of sauce.) I stirred the pasta and sauce together to coat the noodles and then used a spoon to make sure the noodles were in an even layer.
- Variation: If you want meat or vegetables in your baked ziti, add them here. Sprinkle cooked ground beef or sliced vegetables, like mushrooms and spinach, to make the next layer.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cheese mixture over the top of the current layer. Use half of the cheese mixture for this layer.
- Use the back of a spoon (or your fingers) to gently press the mixture into an even layer.
- Repeat the steps above to make the second layer.
- Pour the remaining cup of pasta sauce over the top and use a spoon to spread it evenly.
4. Cook the ziti on low for 4-6 hours or on high for about 2 hours. To test if it is done, use a fork to dig out a few noodles to taste. The exact time will vary depending upon your slow cooker. Keep a close eye on it the first time you make it.
5. Remove the lid and sprinkle additional mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top and garnish with basil. Turn off the slow cooker. Put the lid back on and allow the cheese to melt. It takes about 10 minutes.
Serve crock-pot ziti right out of the slow cooker! The longer it sets, the easier it is to dish out in nice tall layers. But, it's equally delicious if you spoon it out right away.
Storage
Leftover baked ziti is perfect for enjoying the next day or freezing for later. I like to cut it into single servings, but it can be stored uncut as well.
- Storage. Store cooked pasta in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
- To Reheat. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Reheat servings in the microwave or the oven at 350 °F.
This recipe was a bit of a reminder for me that a slow cooker can be used for many, many things...things you may have read about but not tried before. Check out all of our crock-pot recipes.
If your slow cooker is collecting dust from limited use (as mine was,) I suggest you drag it out and make crock-pot baked ziti recipe right away! You won't be disappointed.

Wendy says
I thought it was wonderful. I live alone and I made 10 servings for me. wow. I used no sugar spaghetti sauce. That's so good. I bought it by accident one time and haven't stopped using it. I took some of reviews suggestions and I only cooked it 4 hours. My crockpot is 30 years old. another suggestion was to stick a knife in it. That was a very smart suggestion. Thank you to the person that suggested that. I'm going to keep this in my recipe rotation.
Mark says
Making it now. I messed up and forgot to put the sausage I cooked on until right before the final tomato sauce layer so hoping it’ll come out ok still!
Marjory Pilley says
I hope it was as delicious as it sounds!
G J says
This is delicious! How many cups does it make? I forgot to measure the total cups before we gobbled it up, and I’d like to track it in my food app.
Marjory Pilley says
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I don't have the serving size in cups, but I will definitely measure next time and post it.
Sophia says
You mentioned in the notes that you can freeze this, thaw it in the refrigerator, and then bake it at 350 degrees in the oven to reheat it. How long do you usually put it in the oven? I don't know if I should plan for about 10 minutes or something more like 30 minutes to an hour. Thanks! Fantastic recipe, by the way! My whole family loves it. 😁
Marjory Pilley says
Hi! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your comment. Once defrosted in the refrigerator it will take about 30 minutes. Cover with aluminum foil so it won't crisp too much on the top.
MELINDA DeARMOND says
Our family loves it! The cook time seems to vary depending on the crockpot. Mine is usually done in 3 hours, and sometimes less. I discovered an easy way to know when it's done is to top the dish off with a handful of shredded cheese on top of the pasta sauce at the end. When the cheese has melted, the pasta is hot all the way though. A quick stick of a kitchen knife though the middle always confirms if the pasta is cooked, or if it needs a little more time.
Marjory Pilley says
Great tip! I'm so glad you enjoy it!
Kerrie says
Thank you so much for the recipe. We had it last night and it was a total hit. I added fresh chopped parsley at the end which we liked. I checked it at 2.5 hours on low and the pasta was almost done so I switched it to keep-warm for an hour and it was perfect. My slow cooker is a 6 quart Crock Pot and runs warmer than the one it replaced so it may be hotter than most. Also, my cooker is round not oval which means the bottom is pretty narrow. I think next time I'll try three layers rather than two. This is definitely going into regular rotation!! Yum!
Alice says
Yum! My crockpot cooked this really fast so it ended up a little burned around the edges, but still really good! I now know to reduce the time for my pot to about four hours, but what a nice and simple recipe and really yummy. I will make this again for sure.
Marjory Pilley says
So glad you enjoyed it!
Jules MacDonald says
So pleasantly surprised! I'd never heard of a good crockpot pasta recipe but put my faith in the reviews and it came out perfectly! I doubled the recipe in my 7 quart crockpot for a team dinner last night and added a little water to my sauce because I didn't want the pasta to absorb all the liquid and leave me with tomato paste. I was looking forward to some of those freezer friendly left overs but there were no left overs!! Thank you so much for this!!
Marjory says
I'm thrilled you enjoyed it! It really is perfect when you are entertaining!
Jessica says
I would love to try this but I have one of the larger slow cookers...do you think I would need to change any of the amounts or cooking time? Thanks!
Marjory says
Hi! Depending upon the size of your slow cooker, you could double the recipe and I don't think the cook times would need to change. If the amounts in the recipe are used and the layers are very thin, then it will cook faster...I would suggest checking after about 2 hours. I've never cooked it in a larger slow cooker...but would love to know how it turns out!
Mags says
Making this for a work potluck tomorrow. I doubled the recipe with no egg in a large crock pot. set for 6 hours while I sleep, then a reheat tomorrow at work. Hope it comes out good. Didn't have time for a boil & bake with kids, homework, etc. Wish me luck!!!
Marjory says
I hope you enjoy it! 🙂
Holli says
Could I use cottage cheese instead of ricotta cheese? Thank you for sharing this awesome recipe! I can’t wait to make it!!
Marjory says
Yes! Cottage cheese would be wonderful in this baked ziti recipe.
Joanne says
Why would you want to use cottage cheese? It changes the taste and texture....no self-respecting Italian cook would ever use cottage cheese...don't do it!
Melanie Johnson says
Hi! This came out really good but we think it needed more noodles! I will add more next time! Thank you!
Marjory says
I'm so glad you enjoyed! Thanks for your feedback!
Anthony says
Great recipe, tasted great. I used 2.5 jars of tomato sauce & Gardein veggie crumbles (my co-workers are vegetarian).
At the 4 hour mark, the pasta was still not quite cooked (very al dente). I added the cheese topping & left it to cook for additional 30 mins, which resulted in the pasta being rather gummy/ a touch overcooked.
NOTE to self: STOP the cooking after 4 hours on low & the pasta should be perfect!
Marjory says
Thanks so much for your comment and tips. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Julz says
Can this be assembled ahead of time like the night before? My only concern is the noodles would get mushy.
Marjory says
Hi! I have not tried assembling this the night before with uncooked noodles. However, I have assembled it ahead of time with cooked noodles to make in the oven and this works fine. I have a feeling it *might* work. If you do try it, please let us know how it went! Thanks!
Callie says
Sorry but the sauce was absorbed, therefore not enough sauce and the noodles were mushy at 6 hours on low. The taste was great and we will still finish it off. I would suggest testing it at 4 hours and also having extra sauce set aside. Also, unsure about rinsing noodles, i think maybe just mixing the sauce into the noodles is enough.
Marjory says
Thanks for your feedback!
Maggie says
Easy and delicious. We serve e salad and garlic knots! A meal everyone enjoys.
Marjory says
Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Elizabeth says
I made this last night for a family event and it turned out perfectly! Thank you!
Marjory says
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Shari Peace says
I know you said spaghetti noodles would work but in less time. I want to use what I have in the cupboard and that is penne rigate noodles. Would you cook them for 4 hrs? Thanks and I'm going to try this recipe tomorrow:)
Marjory says
Hi! I hope you enjoyed it. It should cook in the same amount of time!
Crystal says
I accidently used marinara sauce in mine will it still taste the same
Marjory says
I hope you enjoyed it!
Kelly says
Color me surprised. No one really eats ziti in my family but I just had to try this to see if it can be done and because it looked so good. As I was preparing it I thought, "there's no way this isn't going to be ziti soup". Not only was it not, it soaked up so much of the sauce I had to use more for when I served it. Overall I'd say it was quite good.
Marjory says
Thanks so much for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
MaryAnn says
Will defintely be trying this out. I work a lot of nights and so does hubby, so that usually means our teenaged kids are fending for themselves which I hate. I will definitely be following you for more great recipes. I have two large crock pots, time to break them in! Thank you so much, look forward to more recipes ????????
Marjory says
Enjoy! Check out the crock pot category for more recipes using your slow cooker!
ccchristie says
Do you use the cut ziti or long ziti. I noticed you use the word "noodles" which implies the long ziti, not the short pasta.
Marjory says
Hi! I used the noodles labeled "ziti" that are about an inch long. Thanks for your question!
Maria says
Thanks so much! I planned on making Baked Ziti this Sunday for my grandchildren's Baptism celebration. I kept thinking how am I going to bake it while we are all at church. Now my worries are over. I will have to double the recipe. Will the same 3-4 hours cooking time on low still apply? I can't wait to try this!
Marjory says
Yes it should. Make sure your crock pot is big enough.
carole says
I'm THRILLED to have found this- thank you! Making it tonight and then will put in fridge for tmw night's dinner (I'm gone too long during the day), so tmw. morning, my dinner is DONE!
It looks amazing and i can't wait for the fam to wake up to the incredible smell!! thanks again!
Marjory says
Thanks for commenting. I hope you enjoy it!
Jai says
I'd love to bring this to a potluck luncheon at work. Can I cook it the night before and reheat in the crockpot. If so, what would be your recommended times for cooking and reheating? Thanks
Marjory says
I'm wondering if you might want to assemble the night before and then take to work and cook. I'm really not sure what the correct timing would be for reheating or if that might end up overcooking the dish.
Jai says
I took your advice and assembled it the night before. I saw that someone else on this thread cooked it at work on high for 3 hours so I followed that considering my arrival time. It turned out great!!!. I had to send it along while I attended another meeting. When I made it to the luncheon, there were only two servings left with several inquiring about your recipe. Thanks so much for sharing this. This will come in handy for other potlucks and family gatherings.
Betsy @ Desserts Required says
LOVE the ease of this recipe. I can understand why you kept the word, 'Baked' in the title!!
Marjory says
Thanks Betsy!
Ari says
Do you cook the noodles before they go in the crock pot.
Marjory says
No!!! That's one of the great things about this recipe!
sherry says
I made this it was good except my noodles turned mushy what can I do to change this?
Marjory says
Hi! Thanks for your commment! It's hard to diagnose what might have happened with limited information. But, be sure to use regular noodles in the recipe (not the ones designed to be no-cook.) Also, you may want to adjust the time cooked down a bit. I hope that helps!
Angela Clouse says
Will this work if baked in the oven, ?? And for how long...
Marjory says
You can make this recipe in the oven. I cook the noodles first. (But, if they are covered with plenty of sauce, they should cook in the oven.) Bake in a 350 degree F oven for about 30-40 minutes.
shannon says
just ate this for dinner and it is now in a dead tie for first place in the family crockpot recipe rotation. my toddlers love it! which is not easy to do. thank you so much!
Marjory says
I'm so glad they (and you) liked it!
Kim Beaulieu says
I just love recipes like this. I particularly love that you made it in the crock pot. Easy peasy and delicious.
Susanna says
Do you think this would work the same with gluten free pasta? I am going to try it!
Marjory says
I've never tried it...but, would love to know how it turns out!!
Mar says
I made this for the first time today - DELICIOUS. It was for a work luncheon pot-luck, so I risked it and cooked it for 3 hours on high - and it was perfectly done. I plugged it in at 8 a.m. , added the cheese on top at 10:50 and was ready for the lunch at 11:00. Many compliments, and a nearly empty crockpot!
Marjory says
Thanks so much for your feedback! I'm so glad everyone enjoyed it! 🙂
Adam D says
I came across this recipe yesterday when I forgot to pull the pork out to defrost and I am so glad I did. I always baked my ziti before and didn't think it could work in the crock pot and I was wrong. It was firm and cooked just right and in my opinion even better than baked ziti! I followed the recipe ingredient by ingredient and it was absolutely delicious. I might add ground beef next time but I'll definitely be making this again!
Marjory says
Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I'm so glad you liked it. 🙂 (My hubby loves it with beef!)
cecilia says
where can I purchase a smaller crock pot for one person
Marjory says
You should be able to find them with the larger-sized crock pots and your best bet will be places that sell locks of small appliances and cookware. Also, they seem to be eaiser to find at the holidays. Good luck!
Kristy says
I just purchased a 2 quart Crock Pot at Target for $10. And now you can order online and pick up in store if you want!
Karen says
could you please tell me how many would this feed about? Thank you.
Marjory says
Hi! The yield is about 8 servings.
Melissa says
Quick question - a regular ziti recipe calls for whole eggs, any reason other than calorie concerns for only using egg whites? I apologize if someone has already asked this, I scanned the comments and didn't see anything mentioning it. Thanks!
Marjory says
Hi! You can use a whole egg in place of the egg whites. I've actually done it fairly successfully with no egg for someone who was allergic to egg. I hope you enjoy it!
Noboddy71 says
I'm giving this 5 stars and I have yet to taste it. I'm watching it cook as we type. I have only a 2 quart crockpot, and I so regret yet again buying a crockpot that small cuz for even for two people the thing is tiny. So I fit what I could in it till it almost overflowing and placed the lid on it anyway. Since my crockpot is so small, will it still take 4 hours to cook?
thanks fam ❤

How many calories
Marjory says
Hi! Unfortunately I do not have the calorie count for recipes at this time. You should be ale to get an estimate by entering the data into an app like My Fitness Pal though.
Smcbride says
I've never tried pasta in a crock pot before but now I'm a believer. I followed everything except had to use cottage cheese instead if ricotta and it turned out great. Everyone loved it. Oh, I should note, mine cooked in 3.5 hours on low (set at 4 hours). Thanks for the new idea!
Marjory says
Thanks so much for your feedback! I'm glad you liked it!
kim says
Do you think spaghetti noodles would work just the same? or would it take less time? It's the thin spaghetti....whole wheat.....would love to try this tonight!
Marjory says
Hi! Spaghetti definitely works in the crock pot the same way. Because you are using thin noodles, it will take less time...I'm just not sure how long. I would check it after two hours. I'd love to know how it turns out! Thanks for reading.
Amy Greenberg says
I'd like to make this for the 4th of July for 16 people. I have a big oval crockpot, I think about a 6 quart. Could I double this and still have it fit and cook okay in the same amount of time as if it were a single recipe? I don't do a lot of crockpot cooking so I'm not sure about the whole doubling thing. Any help and/or tips are much appreciated!
Marjory says
Hi! You should be able to double the recipe in a bigger crock pot. Mine was round, but it was 5 quarts. Try to leave at least an inch of room at the top. Thanks for your question and good luck!
Jody says
This looks great! My hubby doesn't eat eggs... do you think the recipe would work without the egg whites? Or do you have any alternative ideas? Thank you Marjory!
Marjory says
I made this just a few weeks ago without egg (my daughter is allergic to eggs) and it was fine. 🙂 It was a tad less firm, but still held together nicely because of all the cheese and was delish!
Deborah says
Hi, I have the ingredients but you show 1 egg and then to us egg whites. So more than 1 egg to get the plural of egg whites? Or just one egg? I was making this for today too.....
Marjory says
Hi! 2 egg whites or 1 egg. Sorry for any confusion! It will work out either way!
Regina says
Good taste, but pasta was a bit mushy for me...kids loved it though.
Marjory says
I'm glad the kids liked it. But, sorry your pasta was mushy...I'd love to know what happened. Thanks for sharing.
Ela says
Can you cook it on high for 2 hours?
Marjory says
Hi! I've never tried it...but, I'm afraid the noodles might get a bit mushy. If you give it a try, I'd love to know how it turns out.
Julie says
I used this as a base for my dinner last night. I added Trader Joe's frozen turkey meatballs, some slices of fresh mozzarella cheese, and sliced olives. I halved the recipe and everything came together beautifully in less than 4 hours!
Marjory says
Awesome! Sounds like a delish version I'll be trying very soon.
Heather says
I didn't have any ricota, so I substituted with feta...absolutely amazing. I'm currently sharing your recipe with everyone at work.
Marjory says
Wow! I've never tried feta. I bet that is delicious, speaking as a big feta fan! Thanks for commenting.
Debbie says
Could you do this in a roaster pan and double recipe ?
Marjory says
I have never tried it in a roaster pan so I really can't say for sure. You should be able to double the recipe with a larger crock pot though. I'd love to hear about your experience with different cooking methods. Thanks for stopping by!
Susan says
Thanks for sharing this. I enjoyed it! For a recommendation to others, be sure to check it at 4 hours, as suggested. I ended up cooking it for 5 hours and that was too long. It wasn't overly dry, but the noodles were far overcooked. I might even skip the noodle rinse next time, saving even more dishes 🙂 I added a little garlic to the ricotta mixture and it was good. Thanks again!
Marjory says
Thank you so much for stopping by and providing your feedback! I'm glad you liked it!
Karla E. says
I tried this recipe for Sunday's dinner today....and it was wonderful!!!!...Loved it!
Marjory says
Thanks so much for your feedback. I am thrilled that you enjoyed it. It's one of my favorites!
Tina says
I am working on a cooking demo for Senior Citizens and the theme is Crock pot meals and I cant wait to try this idea and possibly show it to them! Great idea....
Marjory says
Thanks Tina! I'm sure they will love it.
Jeff says
Thank you so much for the wonderfully easy and tasty recipe Marjory! It was so delightful that I had to post about my experience making it with my own not so well taken pictures. 🙂 I linked back to you about a bazillion times, okay at least 3 times in my post because you deserve the kudos. Thanks again! Cheers!
Marjory says
Thanks for sharing Jeff! I'm so glad you liked it!
Jessica says
Hi just wondering if you use ground beef should I cook it first before adding it to the crock pot?
Marjory says
Thanks for stopping by! Yes, cook the ground beef before adding it to the crock pot!
julie foster says
We are going to canada and have to feed 60 family and playes...Could you possibly change the serving size for 50-60 people!! I would really appreciate it! Thank you
Marjory says
Yikes! Now, that's a large crowd. You're going to need lot of crock pots! I think you'd be better off with really big oven. Good luck.
Rebecca says
Any chance this could be sort of half-cooked , refrigerated overnight, and then finished off on high for 3 hours the next day? I need a dish for a potluck lunch at work, won't have time to assemble un the a.m.and won't have more than 3 hours to let it cook once I get it to work.
Marjory says
Hi and thanks for your question! I haven't tried cooking this on high...but, I'm afraid it would burn. It might be better to just make it in advance. I'd love to know how it turns out. 🙂
lashawnda says
Hi!!! Can I substitute shredded chicken for the ground beef..
Marjory says
Absolutely!
Rachel says
This might seem like a dumb question, but do you use shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan?
Marjory says
Yes, I did! Thanks for reading!!
Barb S says
I had no idea that this could be done! What a great way to serve pasta for a party.
Marjory says
I think this is going to be real time-saver for the holidays this year. 🙂
Erika says
Are the noodles cooked and then rinsed or are the just rinsed?
Marjory says
Hi! Just rinsed. That's it!
Christine (Cook the Story) says
This looks amazing. But I'm going to have to try it to believe it. I don't know why but I am forever skeptical of the slow cooker. I'm putting it on my meal plan for next week (and am going to feature this as one of my Easy Dinners to the Rescue that I do everyday at 1pm, next week too). I can't wait to find out if it works for me. I would love a meal as easy and delicious as this!
Marjory says
Thanks Christine! I hope you are as pleasantly surprised as I was!
Burgandy says
I was wondering about cooking time... If I cooked it low for longer than your suggested 4-5 hours, will the pasta suck up all the moisture and make a dry ziti?
Marjory says
Hi there! I haven't tried it for a longer period of time. But, I'm afraid that would happen and the edges would get very hard and crusty.
Kris Cannon says
I was looking at this recipe and saw your comment. I do a crockpot lasagna and it will definitely dry out of cooked too long. Check it at 4 hours.
Laura says
Hi there,
What size crock pot did you use to make this? Mine is 3 1/2 quarts. Looks yummy!
Marjory says
Hi! It's a 5 quart model and as you can see it stacked up pretty high! You might want to half the recipe for a smaller cooker.
Cathy Pollak ~ Noble Pig says
Love this, such a perfect winter meal. And so easy.
Marjory says
Thanks Cathy! I'm thinking this will come in handy when the holiday season starts.
