     red-pepper flakes and onion powder. Add 2 teaspoons   
     kosher salt and a couple grinds of pepper.   
        
     Pour the tomatoes and their juices into the slow cooker,   
     crushing the tomatoes with your hands, if using whole.   
     Stir to combine.   
        
     Cover and cook on low until the chicken is very tender,

     pasta according to the package directions until al

     the ricotta with the chopped herbs, lemon juice and a   
     pinch of salt; set aside.   
        
     Coarsely shred the cooked chicken with two forks. Remove   
     and discard the herb sprigs and add the vinegar and the   
     basil leaves. Taste the sauce, adding more red-pepper   
     flakes, if you like. Turn off the slow cooker. Pour the   
     drained pasta into the slow cooker and toss to combine.   
        
     Divide among bowls and top with the ricotta mixture.
