Ingredients

• 12 sheets Lasagna noodles (uncooked)
• 15 oz Ricotta cheese
• 3 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 4 cups Marinara sauce
• 2 medium Zucchini (thinly sliced)
• 2 cups Spinach (fresh, chopped)
• 1.5 cups Mushrooms (thinly sliced)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and set aside.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté sliced mushrooms for 5-6 minutes until soft and golden. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Grease the inside of your crock pot lightly with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce (about 1/2 cup) on the bottom of the crock pot.

Step 5

Place a layer of lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, breaking them as needed to fit into the shape of the crock pot.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of spinach, zucchini slices, and sautéed mushrooms.

Step 7

Top the vegetables with another thin layer of marinara sauce and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

Step 8

Repeat the layering process (noodles, ricotta mixture, vegetables, marinara sauce, Italian seasoning) until all ingredients are used up, finishing with marinara sauce on the topmost layer.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the final layer of sauce.

Step 10

Cover with the crock pot lid and cook on LOW for 4 hours, or until the noodles are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Turn off the crock pot and let the lasagna sit for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 12

Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese or fresh basil if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
