  • Mix in the parsley, and most of the Parmesan. I reserve some to add to the top.

  • The key to making this work is to make sure that there is a lot of moisture. Put about 1 cup of sauce in the bottom of your slow cooker.

  • Lay 3 noodles over the sauce.

  • Add half of the cheese mixture.

  • Sprinkle a bit of the mozzarella over the ricotta cheese. This acts like glue when the cheese melts and holds everything together.

  • Add another layer of noodles and cheese. I add 3 more noodles to the top and more sauce.

  • I add a layer of paper towel before I put the lid on the slow cooker. It helps to keep the moisture off of the lasagna.

  • Cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours. The noodles need to be soft.

  • Sprinkle the lasagna with the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan.

  • And some more parsley. I think that it adds a lot of freshness. It is also how my mom makes lasagna, so that is what I do too. Cook until the cheese melts, about 20-30 minutes.

  • Let the lasagna stand for a few minutes before you cut it. It will hold together better and not fall apart.

  • Serve with some garlic bread and a simple salad.
