A simple and comforting slow cooker lasagna recipe using just five ingredients and three cheeses, perfect for busy nights and minimal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • No-boil lasagna noodles
  • 1 ½ cups whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cups marinara sauce

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups ricotta, 2 cups shredded mozzarella, and ½ cup grated Parmesan. Stir gently until evenly blended.
  2. Spread about 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly on the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Place a single layer of no-boil lasagna noodles over the sauce, breaking pieces to fit if necessary.
  4. Dollop roughly a third of the cheese blend over the noodles, then gently spread to cover the layer.
  5. Spoon about 1 cup of marinara over the cheese layer, spreading lightly.
  6. Repeat layering noodles, cheese mixture, and sauce two more times, finishing with a final layer of noodles topped with remaining sauce and a sprinkle of mozzarella.
  7. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours until noodles are tender and cheese is bubbling and creamy.
  8. Turn off the slow cooker and let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use no-boil noodles for best results. Avoid lifting the slow cooker lid during cooking to maintain temperature. Let lasagna rest after cooking for easier slicing. For a crispy top, broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes after slow cooking. Variations include adding vegetables for vegetarian boost, using gluten-free noodles, or adding meat for a heartier dish.
