WHOLE WHEAT CROCK POT LASAGNA FOR 2



Whole Wheat Crock Pot Lasagna for 2 image

This recipe is based on Derf's recipe #21706 Crock pot Lasagna however, I made so many changes that I felt this constituted a new recipe but Derf gets full credit for inspiring me and I did not make the changes because I didn't like the look of hers it just came down to what's in the cupboard and it worked. Make this as spicy or as bland as you like. The whole wheat noodles are wonderful

Time 6h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb lean ground beef (I used very lean ground beef with only 4% fat but I think this will also work with ground turkey too)

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cups lowfat mozzarella cheese, shredded (I used WW mozzarella)
6 lasagna noodles
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium high heat brown beef, onion and garlic, stirring to break up beef (5-10 minutes) until meat is brown.
  • Stir in next 6 ingredients (tomatoes - red pepper flakes) and simmer another 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile in a small bowl combine ricotta and 1 cup of the mozzarella.
  • Spoon 1/3 of the tomato/beef mixture into crock pot. Break 3 lasagna noodles in half and arrange on top of tomato/beef mixture and top with half of the ricota mixture. Repeat with second layer. Finish with the remaining 1/3 of the meat mixture.
