SLOW COOKER SPINACH AND CRAB LASAGNA
Spinach, crab, mushrooms, and lasagna are my hubby's favorite foods. Combine in the slow cooker and wow. I about shocked myself at how good this turned out! You can substitute real crab or shrimp for mock crab. If you turn off the slow cooker and allow lasagna to cool after the 30 minutes after adding mozzarella cheese, it will stick together better!

SLOW-COOKER SPINACH LASAGNA ROLLUPS
Change up your typical pasta casserole with these fun vegetarian lasagna rollups-they're like individually portioned mini lasagnas. The pasta tends to soak up a lot of the liquid while it cooks, so you'll want to reserve about a half jar of marinara sauce to add at the end for a properly saucy dish.

Tips:
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach. Just be sure to thaw it and squeeze out all of the excess water before using.
- Use a variety of cheeses for a more flavorful lasagna. A good combination is ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
- Don't overcook the lasagna. It should be cooked until the cheese is melted and the lasagna is heated through, but it shouldn't be dry or crumbly.
- Let the lasagna rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Slow-cooker spinach lasagna is an easy and delicious meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight. It's also a great way to use up leftover spinach. This lasagna has a creamy ricotta filling and a crispy Parmesan crust. It's sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
