Step 4

Spray the bottom and walls of a large slow cooker with cooking spray. Spread 1/3 of a can of tomato sauce, break noodles into pieces and lay to cover the bottom of a slow cooker. Cover with 1/4 cup marble cheese, 3 peppers (I butterflied them with hands taking out straight from a jar – no need to drain well, just a bit), 1/3 mushrooms, 1/3 cottage cheese and 1/3 can of tomato sauce. Repeat this layer 2 more times and then finishing with a layer of noodles and 1/2 can of tomato sauce on top.

Tips and Warnings

  • Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • *I bought a 62 oz jar of  roasted red and yellow peppers at Costco. I used about 1/2-3/4 of it for the lasagna.
  • **Ricotta would work great too.
  • ***I had half of can of tomato sauce left which was perfect. Do not use entire 2 cans. Try to find low sodium sauce because many other ingredients contain salt as well. I buy mine at Costco (where else?!LOL) in cans (nothing I can do about that).
