Crock Pot Lasagna
3 - 14 oz cans crushed tomatoes
3 cloves garlic , finely chopped
2 Tbsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 - 15 oz containers fresh ricotta
2 cups (8 oz) grated mozzarella
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
12 lasagna noodles (about 3/4 of a 1lb box)
5 oz (about 6 cups) baby spinach
In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, oregano, salt, red
pepper and black pepper. In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta, 1 cup of
the mozzarella and Parmesan.
In the bottom of a 5 to 6 quart slow cooker, spread a thin layer of the
sauce. Top with 3 of the noodles (breaking to fit as necessary). Spread
about 1 cup of the sauce over the noodles and layer with 2 cups of the
spinach and 1 1/2 cups of the cheese mixture. Repeat twice more with the
noodles, sauce, spinach and cheese mixture. Top with the remaining 3
noodles, sauce and 1 cup mozzarella.
Cook on low, covered, until the noodles are tender, especially in the
center of the lasagna, about 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
