Cover; cook on Low heat setting 6 to 8 hours.

Cook and drain pasta as directed on package. Serve sausage mixture over pasta; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Serve food directly from the lined slow cooker. Once your slow cooker cools, remove the liner and throw away for easy clean up.
Garlic bread and a crisp green salad make great accompaniments to this hearty meal.
Sausage is available in several different flavors. Try using something other than turkey sausage the next time you make this dish.
