Veggie Baked Ziti

This easy vegetarian recipe is great for potlucks and pasta lovers. You can make this ahead of time and store it in the fridge overnight, which I did. About two hours before serving, pull it out and set your slow cooker to simmer. Your home will smell of the cheesy deliciousness!
