Description

This Lazy Day Vegetable Lasagna is a comforting and easy slow cooker recipe perfect for busy days. Layers of frozen ravioli, shredded carrots, fresh spinach, creamy Alfredo sauce, and melted mozzarella cheese come together effortlessly in the slow cooker, delivering a rich, cheesy lasagna without the fuss of traditional oven baking. It’s a hearty, vegetable-packed meal that’s ideal for feeding a crowd or prepping in advance.

Ingredients

Scale

Lasagna Layers

  • 15 oz jar of Alfredo sauce
  • Two (25 oz) packs of frozen ravioli
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 2 cups handfuls of fresh spinach

Topping

  • 8 oz pack of mozzarella, shredded
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the slow cooker base: Pour the entire jar of Alfredo sauce into the bottom of your slow cooker, creating the first layer for your lasagna.
  2. First ravioli layer: Arrange a layer of frozen ravioli evenly over the Alfredo sauce base.
  3. Add vegetables: Sprinkle shredded carrots and fresh spinach evenly over the ravioli layer.
  4. Second ravioli layer: Place another layer of frozen ravioli on top of the veggies, then pour more Alfredo sauce over this layer.
  5. Stack layers: Continue layering ravioli, vegetables, and Alfredo sauce as you have ingredients, making sure to finish with a layer of Alfredo sauce on the very top.
  6. Add mozzarella topping: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top layer to ensure a bubbly, golden cheese finish.
  7. Prepare breadcrumb topping: Mix the panko breadcrumbs with melted butter, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the mozzarella cheese for added crunch.
  8. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for about 3 hours or on low for 6 hours, until the dish is bubbling and the cheese is melted and golden.
  9. Serve: Once cooked, allow the lasagna to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to help it set and make slicing easier.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker model; check doneness by ensuring ravioli is tender and cheese is melted.
  • You can substitute fresh spinach for kale or other leafy greens as preferred.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free ravioli and breadcrumbs.
  • Adding freshly grated Parmesan cheese to the top can enhance flavor.
  • Make ahead by assembling the night before and refrigerating; cook directly from cold adding extra cooking time as needed.
