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.

PAM® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray

1 pkg (8 oz each) fresh sliced mushrooms
1 pkg (6 oz each) baby spinach leaves
1 can (14.5 oz each) Hunt’s® Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic and Oregano, undrained
2 cups Hunt’s® Tomato Sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 container (8 oz each) part-skim ricotta cheese
1/2 cup Kraft® Grated Parmesan Cheese, divided
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 dry lasagna noodles, uncooked
1-1/2 cups shredded Italian blend cheese, divided

Step 1: Spray inside of 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Spoon remaining sauce mixture over noodles.

Great idea to spray the slow cooker first. I might have to try this as using the Hunt’s in the crockpot sounds so much easier!
This looks awesome!!! I love slow cooker recipes. They make dinner so easy!
I cannot wait to cook this dish!!! Thanks for sharing
OMG! That lasagna look so delicious.
This looks amazing!! With my on the go growing family I need all the crock pot recipes I can get!! Thanks Hunt’s!
Anything Hunts, Italian, and Slow Cooker has to be great.
This looks delicious! I love spinach and mushrooms in my lasagna. And making it in a crockpot would be so nice! Definitely pinning to try.

This looks so good! Pinned. Lou Lou Girls
That’s what I am missing. Italian seasoning. I can still make this even though I don’t have a slow cooker. Just have the burner down really low. :o)
