Ingredients
  

  • cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for serving
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 (25 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 1 (16 ounce) box lasagna noodles
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 small zucchini, sliced
  • 2 small yellow squash, sliced
  • 2 cups spinach, roughly chopped
  • 16 ounces low-moisture mozzarella, grated
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
  • to taste Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the basil, ricotta, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Spread ¼ cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of your slow cooker to prevent sticking.
  3. Start layering with uncooked lasagna noodles, breaking them as needed to fit.
  4. Add a third of the ricotta mixture, spreading it into a thin layer.
  5. Top with a third of the mushrooms, zucchini, yellow squash, and chopped spinach. Sprinkle with a third of the grated mozzarella.
  6. Drizzle with another ¼ of marinara sauce.
  7. Repeat these layers two more times, ending with a layer of noodles and the remaining marinara sauce.
  8. Top with fresh mozzarella slices.
  9. Place a clean kitchen towel under the lid to catch steam. Cook on HIGH for 3 hours, or until noodles are tender and the sauce is absorbed.
  10. Garnish with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese before serving. Enjoy!
