Can you make spaghetti or lasagne in a slow cooker?!
Answers: I am learning to cook with my Crock Pot and want to know if you can make pasta/Italian dishes in one. Any recipes are appreciated! Thanks!
This is a great crock pot lasagna & super easy to make! Just break up the noodles however you need to, to make a layer! And try not to take the lid off while it's cooking - the steam is what helps cook the noodles. Sometimes the edges around the pot get a little brown, but some people think that's the best part!
1 lb lean ground beef
1 onion , chopped
2 garlic cloves , smashed
1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
12 ounces cottage cheese (we like 2%)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese or asiago cheese
12 ounces lasagna noodles , uncooked
16 ounces mozzarella cheese
Brown ground beef, onion and garlic in frypan.
Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, salt and oregano.
Cook long enough to get it warm.
Spoon a layer of meat sauce onto the bottom of the slow cooker.
Add a double layer of uncooked lasagna noodles (break to fit) and top with cheeses.
Repeat with sauce, noodles and cheeses until all are used up.
Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours.
I hope that helps! Enjoy!
