SLOW-COOKER VEGETABLE LASAGNA



Slow-Cooker Vegetable Lasagna image

Busy families, this recipe is for you. I crave the comfort of homemade lasagna in the winter, but I dislike the lengthy assembly time that often accompanies the dish. The slow cooker makes the entire process really simple: no boiling noodles, no precooking the vegetables and no need to worry about making neat layers.

Time 3h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick cooking spray
4 cups marinara sauce
8 to 9 lasagna noodles (preferably whole wheat)
2 1/4 cups part-skim ricotta cheese
3/4 cup green peas, thawed if frozen
3 cups baby spinach leaves
3 cups sliced zucchini (from about 3 to 4 small zucchini)
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Lightly spray the inside of a slow cooker crock with nonstick cooking spray. Spread 1/2 cup marinara sauce on the bottom of the slow cooker, then add a layer of noodles (you may have to cut or break noodles to fit in a single layer).
  • Cover the noodles with 3/4 cup ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup green peas, 1 cup baby spinach leaves, 1 cup sliced zucchini and 3/4 cup marinara sauce. Repeat with two additional layers of noodles, ricotta, vegetables and sauce; you will have three layers in all. End with a final layer of noodles, the remaining marinara sauce and the mozzarella cheese.
  • Cover with the lid and cook on high for 3 hours or 5 to 6 hours on low. Turn the slow cooker off and let the lasagna sit for at least 30 minutes before serving (this allows it to firm up).
  • Garnish with parsley and serve.

SLOW COOKER VEGETARIAN LASAGNA



Slow Cooker Vegetarian Lasagna image

In college, choosing macaroni and cheese or juniorettes is always a first choice- But sometimes, it just doesn't cut it. Home cooked meals are very necessary every once in awhile, as you may know. Slow cooker recipes are great in apartments, especially when space is limited to prepare a feast. This takes only minutes to prepare, then let it cook while you study or rest for 2 1/2 hours. *Note: Veggie crumbles are a heat and serve vegetarian meat substitute- If you don't want this to be vegetarian, you can substitute 8 ounces ground beef, browned, for the crumbles.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lasagna noodles. No-boil lasagna noodles are best for slow-cooker lasagna. They will not overcook and become mushy.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker. Leave some space between the layers of noodles, sauce, and cheese so that the lasagna can cook evenly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your lasagna more flavor and texture. Some good options include spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, and bell peppers.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese. Cheese is what makes lasagna so delicious! Use a combination of mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta cheese for the best results.
  • Cook the lasagna on low for 6-8 hours. This will allow the flavors to develop and the lasagna to cook through evenly.
