Crock Pot Lasagna

This one gets 5 stars based on simplicity alone!  And it's yummy!

--put a ladle-full of pasta sauce into the bottom of your crockpot (add seasoned meat, if desired)
--top with a layer of dried lasagna noodles
--smear ricotta cheese on top of lasagna noodles
--layer veggies, mushrooms, eggs and spinach on top of the ricotta cheese (I used grated carrot, sliced mushrooms and a few handfuls of baby spinach)
--add a handful of the shredded cheese
--ladle on some more of the sauce
--top with more dry noodles and repeat layers until crock is to desired capacity.
--put 1/4 cup of water into your empty pasta jar and shake. Pour tomatoey juice over the whole pile of food. 
--cover and cook on low for 8 hours, high for 4.
--Check noodles an hour before serving, and push the top ones down into the liquid if they are getting too hard or are curling up. 


** note to self:  next time, tear spinach leaves so they are not as easily detected!
