How to make Quick and Easy Crockpot Lasagna

• 01
  Start by gathering your ingredients: ground Italian sausage (or beef), lasagna noodles, ricotta cheese, Shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, Chopped spinach, and pasta sauce.
• 02
  Then, brown the sausage in a sauté pan over medium-high heat, stirring and breaking it into small crumbles. (Don't forget to drain off any excess grease!)
• 03
  Next, spray the Slow Cooker insert with cooking spray and begin layering the ingredients in the following order: 1 ½ Cups pasta sauce, 4 lasagna noodles (broken into pieces to fit), ⅓ of the ricotta cheese (in spoonfuls), ½ Cup mozzarella & 2 Tablespoons Parmesan, ⅓ of the cooked sausage, ⅓ of the spinach, and 1 Cup pasta sauce.
• 04
  Repeat this layering process two more times. To finish, top with another layer of noodles, sauce, and mozzarella.
• 05
  Place the lid on the Slow Cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours, or until the noodles are tender.
• 06
  Finally, turn off the heat, sprinkle the top of the lasagna with the remaining Parmesan and fresh basil, and let it rest for 30 minutes for easier cutting.
• 07
  Want to make this vegetarian? Simply omit the meat layer. If desired, you can add in a layer of thinly-sliced vegetables, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini/squash, or onions!) Now that's an easy and delicious weeknight meal!
