Ingredients
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage
- 1/2 cup chopped white or yellow onion
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 3-15 ounce cans crushed tomatoes
- 15 ounce can tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounce shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 8 ounces ricotta cheese
- 8 ounces cottage cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 9 no boil lasagna noodles
Instructions
- Brown sausage in a skillet over medium-low heat.
- Drain, and return to pan.
- Stir in onion and garlic.
- Cook, stirring regularly, until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, basil, and salt.
- Remove from heat, and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir 1 cup mozzarella cheese together with the ricotta, cottage cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
- Lightly grease the slow cooker insert.
- Place 1/4 of the sauce into the bottom of a 6 quart slow cooker.
- Place 3 noodles over sauce, breaking to fit as necessary.
- Top noodles with half of the cheese mixture.
- Layer ¼ of sauce and 3 more noodles.
- Place remaining half of cheese mixture over the noodles and top with 1/4 sauce.
- Top with last 3 noodles and the remaining 1/4 sauce.
- Cover, and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours. Since slow cooker cook differently, I recommend checking the lasagna around the 3.5 hour mark and then gauging the cooking time from there.
- Top with remaining 1 cup mozzarella.
- Continue cooking until cheese melts.
- Let the lasagna sit for 15-30 minutes to set up before serving.
