I love Italian food. I really LOVE anything dish with tomatoes. There is nothing better than a good red sauce. I have been working on my family tree the last few months, and am astonished that I don’t have any roots tracing back to Italy. How could that be? I wonder if there is any such thing as an honorary Italian.

This looks delicious. Love recipes for my slow cooker. Will be making this for my family.
Thank you for this recipe! I love using my slow cooker but have been trying to figure out something new to try. I will be giving this a shot. Looks delicious!
Oh my yum! This looks so good! Thanks for sharing!
This will be a great meal for us for our meatless Friday dinner this week. Everyone is going to love it!
I’ve never heard of cooking lasagna in a slow-cooker! I definitely need to try this versus cooking it in my oven!
Slow cooker lasagna is right up my alley. I’m ALL about the slow cooker. Thanks for sharing. I’ll be making this this weekend.
That looks amazing. Anything that you can make in the slow cooker, sounds like a winner to me. I actually need the meat and not the noodles. I think I may attempt to modify this by adding meat, removing noodles and see what happens. Yum!
Agreed. If you can put it in a slow cooker, I love it immediately.
Spinach Lasagna sounds so good right now! Looks awesome!
Oh boy, I’m drooling over here. I love how the cheese is all melted and yummy.
That looks so yummy! Maybe I can convince my boyfriend to make it!
