Slow Cooker Mushroom Spinach Lasagna Recipe

By Angela Sellari Jump to Recipe

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.
