Slow Cooker Pesto Lasagna
Just the name Slow Cooker Pesto Lasagna, translates (in my world) to "easy, delicious and quick after a long day." This is homemade cheesy goodness with almost no work.
Ingredients
- 1 box uncooked lasagana noodles broken into big pieces
- 2 jars favorite tomato sauce
- 1 cup pesto store bought or recipe below
- 16 oz ricotta chesse
- 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- cooking spray to spray slow cooker
Instructions
- First, liberally spray the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray. Next, mix the pesto and ricotta cheese until well combined.
- Now pour the tomato sauce to cover the bottom of the slow cooker (approximately 1/2 cup).
- Next, top with enough broken lasagna noodles to cover the sauce.
- Add 1/3 of the pesto and ricotta cheese mixture onto the noodles. There is no need to spread the mixture out with a spatula; it will do this naturally while it cooks.
- Now add a handful of mozzarella and 1/4 of Parmesan cheese on top.
- Repeat the above process 3 more times (tomato sauce, noodles, pesto and ricotta cheese mixture, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese).
- Now put the lid on. Cook on low for 5 hours or high for 3 hours.
- When done, let it sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes so the lasagna holds together when served.
