Convenient no-cook lasagna noodles take the work out of this traditional favorite adapted for the slow cooker. Because it's so easy to assemble, it's great for workdays as well as weekends. We like it accompanied by Parmesan bread or garlic cheese toast. —Lisa Micheletti Collierville, Tennessee

I have made this several times. It is perfect. I use ricotta and cottage cheese. My family loves it.

I used a jar of Prego chunky sauce instead of the regular tomato sauce and a can of Del Monte diced tomatos with mild chiles and topped it with Cheddar cheese

This is the only way to make lasagna - I tried making lasagna the traditional way - what a pain.

I've been using this recipe for several years. I use cheapy Hunts spag sauce (find it for 99 cents), sm can of tom paste and 8 oz tom sauce and add seasonings and ingredients (olives, green beans, red peppers to stretch, etc as desired). I usually make the sauce a day or two ahead. I've used up to 32 oz of cottage cheese and mixed with basil and seasonings and it was fine and different combinations of cheeses. I use an oval crockpot with no problem and if I'm in a rush, have cooked on high for 3 hours and it's perfect. Sorry so long, I can't believe I haven't reviewed before.

This was fantastic! I will never make a traditional lasagna again!! I reduced the recipe by half and used 1/2 can spaghetti sauce and an 8oz can of tomato sauce for the sauce. I was pleasantly surprised by how much better this was in the CP.

This was so much easier to make than my regular lasagna recipe. The pieces weren't quite as "pretty" but the taste was fantastic!
