The best part? You can carefully place your ingredients directly in the crockpot and then forget about this dish for three and a half hours—which is the ideal timeline for a large Sunday gathering. Layers of marinara sauce, pasta, mozzarella, and a spinach-ricotta mixture cook slowly until the ingredients meld and the noodles become tender. Pair with a simple romaine salad, and you have a classic Italian staple with just 15 minutes of hands-on time. Ingredients Lasagna 2 10-ounce packages chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed to remove excess moisture 1 cup ricotta 3/4 cup grated parmesan 3 cups marinara sauce 1 1/2 cups mozzarella 6 regular lasagna noodles (not no-boil) Romaine Salad 8 cups shredded romaine lettuce 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced kosher salt and black pepper 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar 2 tablespoons olive oil Directions In a bowl, mix together the spinach, ricotta, and ½ cup of the Parmesan. In a second bowl, mix together the marinara sauce and ½ cup water. Spread ¾ cup of the marinara mixture in the bottom of a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Top with 2 noodles (breaking to fit), ¾ cup of the remaining marinara mixture, half the spinach mixture, and ½ cup of the mozzarella; repeat. Top with the remaining noodles, marinara mixture, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Cover and cook on low until the noodles are tender, 3½ to 4 hours. In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add the lettuce, cucumber, and onion and toss to combine. Serve with the lasagna.
