Homemade lasagna is possible on a weeknight – and made exceptionally easy – with the help of your slow cooker!
Lasagna:
1. Spread 1 cup of Bolognese sauce on the bottom of a greased slow cooker. Spread the sauce evenly on the bottom of the slow cooker.
2. Top with a single layer of three uncooked pasta sheets.
3. Top with 1 cup of Bolognese sauce and spread evenly over the pasta, making sure the sauce covers all of the pasta.
4. Evenly spread ¾ cup of Ricotta filling over the Bolognese and then top with a ¼ cup of shredded Asiago & Parmesan cheese.
5. Repeat steps 2-4.
6. Top with another layer of pasta, followed with the final cup of Bolognese sauce.
7. Top with ¼ cup of shredded Mozzarella cheese and ¼ cup of shredded Asiago & Parmesan cheese.
8. Cook lasagna on high for 2 ½-3 hours, or until a knife can be easily inserted and removed and the pasta is fully cooked.
9. Serve.
Ricotta Filling:
1. Combine the grated Parmesan cheese, basil, parsley and garlic in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until well combined.
