Easy and Delicious Crockpot Lasagna Recipe




For this crockpot lasagna recipe, note that any shape of pasta will work just fine in this healthy crockpot recipe. I particularly like to use a bow tie or fuscilli shape because the curves cling to the sauce in every delicious bite.

To Save time, brown the ground beef the night before, along with the vegetables for this crockpot Lasagna Recipe.

Take the spinach out of the freezer and let it defrost in the refrigerator over night in a bowl. That way everything is ready to fix.

In the morning, simply assemble in the crockpot and allow your meal to simmer throughout the day.

When it's dinner time, cook the pasta as directed, drain and stir into the crockpot along with the spinach and cheeses. Easy!

Bow tie pasta is the favorite for this dish, although most any shape of pasta would be just fine here.
 
1 1/4 lbs    lean ground beef  
1   chopped onion  
2   minced garlic  
28 oz    low sodium tomato puree  
15 oz    low sodium tomato sauce  
2 tsp    Italian seasoning  
1/4 tsp    black pepper  
1 lb    cooked pasta  
10 oz    frozen spinach, defrosted  
15 oz    ricotta  
1/2 cup    grated parmesan cheese  
 
1 In a large skillet, cook the ground beef along with the onion and garlic until the meat is no longer pink. Drain off any fat and pour meat and vegetables into the crockpot.
2 Add the tomato puree, tomato sauce and seasonings to the crockpot. Stir to break up any meat lumps. Cover and cook for 7-8 hours on low.
3 Cook the pasta and drain. Defrost the spinach. Place the spinach in a clean dish towel and squeeze all excess water from the spinach.
4 Stir the cheeses and the spinach into the crockpot. Gently stir in the cooked and drained pasta. Heat on high for 5 minutes and serve.
