Bowtie Pasta Casserole by Rachel

1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
Salt & pepper to taste (I also added in some crushed red pepper to taste)
10 oz. spinach
16 oz. bowtie pasta, cooked
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1 1/2 cup mozzarella, shredded


Thaw and place in crock pot. Cook for 6-7 hours on low.  
Add the last 4 ingredients during the last 30 minutes of cooking and turn crock-pot to high:  Add the fresh spinach, pasta, parmesan and 1 cup of the mozzarella and mix.  
Add the last 1/2 cup of mozzarella to melt on the top.


To Prepare:
Brown ground beef with onion and garlic.  Can be done easily in the oven.  
Prepare noodles.
Place ground beef in a freezer bag with sauce, noodles, tomatoes, and seasonings.
