Expert Tips

Other shapes of similarly sized pasta also can be used in this casserole. Wagon wheels, mafalda (mini lasagna noodles) and penne will work well, too.

Larger pastas, such as lasagna noodles, work better in slow cookers because they can handle the long cooking times. Smaller pastas, such as rotini, perform better when cooked separately and stirred in at the end of cooking.

    I used diced chicken instead of turkey (what I had on hand). They chicken was precooked so I cut the time to 6 hours. Everyone liked this one so it is a keeper, however, next time I will not put an entire bay leaf. Other than that.. very great dish!

    I have made this dish several times with one exception. I use ground Turkey. I season the turkey with a little poultry seasonings, garlic and salt/pepper. It comes out awesome every time.
