Method
- Cook the beef with chopped garlic, onion, and mushrooms until the beef is browned. Add spaghetti sauce and simmer for about 30 minutes.
- Mix ricotta with parsley, Parmesan, Italian blend cheese, olive oil, and seasonings. The original directions specify two tablespoons parsley, half a cup Parmesan, one cup Italian blend cheese, and two tablespoons oil.
- Spread a thin layer of sauce in the slow cooker. Add uncooked noodles broken to fit, ricotta mixture, and more sauce. Repeat, then top with remaining cheese and sliced olives.
- Cover and cook on high for about four hours, until the noodles are tender and the casserole is hot throughout. Let stand before cutting.

Notes
Start with a thin layer of meat sauce so the bottom noodles do not sit against a dry surface.
