This lasagna is one of the best I've had.
It's easy to put together, and my family loved the spinach-alfredo combination.
Spinach Alfredo Crock Pot Lasagna Printable Recipe
1/2 pound lean ground beef
1/2 pound ground sausage
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 jar (24 oz.) spaghetti sauce
1 carton (15 oz.) ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 heaping tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pkg (8 oz.) no-cook lasagna noodles
8 cups (32 oz.) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 package (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 jar (15 oz.) Alfredo sauce
1. In a large skillet, cook the beef, sausage, onion, and garlic until meat is no longer pink. Drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce.
2. In a small bowl, combine ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, parsley and pepper. Set aside.
3. Spread 1 cup meat sauce in the bottom of a 6 qt. crock pot. Arrange four noodles over sauce, breaking to fit evenly. Spread 1/2 of ricotta mixture evenly over noodles. Layer with 2 cups mozzarella and then half of remaining meat mixture.
4. Top with four noodles, spinach, Alfredo sauce, 2 cups mozzarella cheese, 4 noodles and remaining ricotta mixture. Layer 2 more cups mozzarella, the rest of the meat mixture, and remaining 2 cups mozzarella.
5. Cook on low for about 5 hours or until noodles are tender.
6. Turn crock pot off and remove lid. Let lasagna sit for 20 to 30 minutes before serving to firm up.

What's for dessert? Brownies:
Yum….this sounds fabulous!! Love the table cloth…plaids are my thing!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kay! I would love to browse your linen closet for kitchen stuff....you always have such pretty things in your pictures! :)
DeleteGood Evening Joy, I love making Lasagne, but I have never made it in a slow cooker before, I have always used the oven. I am certainly going to try your method next time I make a Lasagne as I could put all the ingredients in the slow cooker, then get on with other things and not worry about it for 5 hours..... fabulous.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes
Daphne
Daphne, I had tried making lasagna in the slow cooker before, but it always came out too “soupy”. This wasn’t soupy at all, so I was happy with the way it turned out! :) Yes, letting it do all the work while you do other things for 5 hours is won-der-ful! ;)
DeleteYour lasagna recipe sounds delicious!! =)
ReplyDeletePinned to my Crockpot board.
Thank you, Melissa, and thanks for pinning! You have the best Pinterest boards! :)
DeleteYou always have the best recipes! Must really be fun to eat at your house! Sadly I am allergic to spinach but I am thinking I could replace that with a nice layer of yellow squash and zucchini. hmmmmmmmmmm Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh does THIS ever look better than what I am having for dinner, lol! :)
ReplyDeleteLol! Thank you, Deb. :) I wish I had some left!

ReplyDeleteThis looks amaaaaazing! Can't wait to give it a try. Love that it's a crockpot recipe too, bonus!
ReplyDeleteThat lasagna looks so good Joy. I love Italian food. Pinning to hopefully make next week. I have never made lasagna in the crockpot before, but I'm willing to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dawn! I have tried a couple of different recipes for making lasagna in the crockpot, and they tended to be soupy. I was really happy with the way this one turned out- no soup! ;) If you try it, I hope you and your family enjoy it! Thank you for coming by!
DeleteA crockpot full of something delicious makes the house smell better than any Glade plug-in could hope too! :) This lasagna looks delicious, Joy! I find that good crockpot recipes are not so easy to find. They take a lot of trial and error for me. Thank you for doing the trial part on this one! We love lasagna and we love spinach so this will be dinner at our house soon!
ReplyDeleteNow who would have guessed that you could do a lasagna in a crock pot? Sounds and looks super yummy! Thanks for sharing it with SYC.

ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely delicious! Found you through the Show Stopper Saturday link party!
ReplyDeleteCome over and see my recipes for White Chocolate Shortbread with Blueberry Buttercream and my Blueberry Almond Protein Smoothie
This looks great. I use my crock pot a lot, but for some reason pasta in it always intimidates me a little, I am always worried I will get it too mushy. I will have to try this, my boys love lasagna. If you have not shared yet at Bacon Time, I would love for you to join our linky, it's up now :)
ReplyDeleteOh yum, my husband is up for me trying this one. I have a spinach lasagna recipe that I make, but the spinach is in place of the meat and it is with red pasta sauce, oh, and cooked in the oven. He says we will have to try this next month. Can't this money as we have already had our lasagna for the month (it does get expensive)
ReplyDeleteI would love if you could stop by and share on my weekly recipe linky, Kids and a Mom in the Kitchen. I am always looking for new recipes to Pin and to try with my children.
