Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium zucchini diced
  • 1 medium bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup spinach chopped
  • 1 jar 24 ounces marinara sauce
  • 9 lasagna noodles uncooked
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add zucchini, bell pepper, and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender. Stir in chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and basil. Remove from heat.
  3. In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese with the egg until well combined.
  4. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the slow cooker. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top.
  5. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the sautéed vegetables, and a third of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers: marinara sauce, noodles, ricotta mixture, vegetables, and mozzarella. Top with the remaining noodles, marinara sauce, and the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the noodles are tender and the cheese is melted.
  7. Let the lasagna sit for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
