Lasagna is just the best!

Bringing a forkful of ooey gooey, super cheesy lasagna from plate to mouth makes us a little weak in the knees. Seriously, it’s about as good as anything has the right to be at dinnertime!

But when the summer temperatures push triple digits, the last thing you want to do is fire up the oven – even if it is for lasagna night with the family.

So we set out to create a healthier vegetable lasagna that keeps the calorie count on the lower side – and won’t heat up your kitchen in the process.

Multi cooker to the rescue 🙂

Ready, set, let’s eat!

  • Servings 4
  • Preparation 20 min
  • Cooking 90 min

Ingredients

  • 1 24-ounce jar tomato sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (chopped)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6-8 lasagna noodles – preferably wavy
  • 1 cup light ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups spinach (chopped)
  • 1 large carrot (shredded)
  • 1 zucchini (thinly sliced)
  • 1 ¼ cup shredded mozzarella

Directions

  • Pour tomato sauce into a bowl and mix with crushed pepper flakes, thyme, garlic powder and salt.
  • Spread 1/3 cup tomato sauce at the bottom of the inner pot of the rice cooker.
  • Break the lasagna noodles into big pieces and place on top of the tomato sauce. The pieces should cover most of the circumference of the pot.

  • Top with 1/3 cup tomato sauce, 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese.

  • Top with noodles, a little tomato sauce and what’s left of the cheese.
  • Place inner pot in the rice cooker. Select the [Slow Cook] menu and set for 90 minutes. Press the [Start] key.
  • Once cooking is complete, serve on a plate.

HOW TO MAKE SLOW COOKER LASAGNA

If you’ve got leftover tomato sauce, this is the perfect time to use it up! Otherwise, grab a 24-oz jar from the grocery store – and mix with a few extra spices like pepper flakes, thyme and garlic powder to really dial-up the Italian goodness.

Then simply layer your ingredients into the inner pot of your multi cooker. You’ll find the specific instructions and quantities under the directions tab.

Once you have a total of three layers, you’re pretty much good to go. Don’t forget to top the layers off with the remainder of your sauce and cheese!

Use the slow cook setting for 90 minutes – and dinner is served.

Buon appetito!
