Vegetarian Lasagna

Sure, the slow cooker's great for stews and soups, but it also happens to make a mean lasagna! In this ingenious slow-cooker recipe, all you have to do is chop your veggies, then layer the ingredients (raw) into the crockpot. Serve with: Garlic bread and a green salad.

Ingredients :
  • 3 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella, divided
  • 15 whole-wheat lasagna noodles (about 12 ounces), uncooked
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper (optional)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 small zucchini, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced
  • 3 large or 4 small portobello mushroom caps, gills removed (see Tip), halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 5-ounce package baby spinach, coarsely chopped
  • 1 15- to 16-ounce container part-skim ricotta
  • 1 large egg
Directions :
  1. Combine egg, ricotta, spinach, mushrooms and zucchini in a large bowl.
  2. Combine crushed and diced tomatoes and their juice, garlic and crushed red pepper (if using) in a medium bowl.
  3. Generously coat a 6-quart or larger slow cooker with cooking spray. Spread 1½ cups of the tomato mixture in the slow cooker. Arrange 5 noodles over the sauce, overlapping them slightly and breaking into pieces to cover as much of the sauce as possible. Spread half of the ricotta-vegetable mixture over the noodles and firmly pat down, then spoon on 1½ cups sauce and sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella. Repeat the layering one more time, starting with noodles. Top with a third layer of noodles. Evenly spread the remaining tomato sauce over the noodles. Set aside the remaining 1 cup mozzarella in the refrigerator.
  4. Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on High for 2 hours or on Low for 4 hours. Turn off the slow cooker, sprinkle the reserved mozzarella on the lasagna, cover and let stand for 10 minutes to melt the cheese.
