SLOW-COOKER LASAGNA
This Italian comfort food classic takes only 10 minutes to prep and needs no supervision to come together beautifully. Unlike time-consuming traditional versions, this recipe is so easy, there is no need to cook the noodles first. Two full layers of savory tomato sauce, rich cheese sauce and pasta present the perfect meal for a family dinner any night of the week. Paired with a crunchy and simple salad of lettuce, carrots, cucumber and tomatoes and topped with a light Italian vinaigrette, you will not have to call anyone to the table, they will be waiting. When the lasagna is fully cooked let it sit a few minutes before serving so it can firm up a bit. Leftovers are sure to be sought-after so making a double batch might be best.
