Servings: 7
Ingredients
- 1 jar Italian tomato pasta sauce 24 ounce
- 1 can diced tomatoes with the juice (14.5 ounce)
- 24 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese OR cottage cheese
- 9 lasagna noodles with wavy edges
- 3-4 cups chopped vegetables of choice I used zucchini and fresh spinach
- 2 cups shredded Mozzarella or Provolone cheese
- Parmesan cheese for topping
- fresh parsley for topping
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine the pasta sauce, diced tomatoes, and ricotta or cottage cheese. Place 1/2 cup of the tomato mixture on the bottom of the slow cooker. Break 3 lasagna noodles so that they fit into the slow cooker better (you can see how I did this in the pictures.)
- Cover with about one third of the tomato sauce mixture, chopped vegetables, cheese, and end with noodles. Repeat layers two more times for a total of three complete layers. Covered with a thin layer of sauce and a little bit more shredded cheese.
- Cover and cook for 3 hours on high or 5-6 hours on low. Turn off the slow cooker and let the lasagna sit for one hour before serving so that the noodles can absorb any extra moisture. Sprinkle with a little Parmesan and fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
You can use a just about any vegetable that you like. I really liked the zucchini + fresh spinach combo. I have also made this with a variety of things like cooked mushrooms, kale, shredded carrots, and even bell peppers. Use what you like and what you have on hand. The mushrooms were the only thing I cooked ahead of time because I wasn't sure what they would do in the slow cooker.
