Vegetable Lasagna Slow Cooker: A No-Fuss Comfort Classic

This vegetable lasagna slow cooker recipe layers fresh basil, ricotta, and garden veggies like zucchini and mushrooms into a no-fuss, cheese-laden dinner favorite.

  • Total Time: 3 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 7 servings

Ingredients

Scale

⅓ cup chopped fresh basil

15 ounces ricotta cheese

2 large eggs

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp kosher salt

½ tsp cracked black pepper

1 (25 oz) jar marinara sauce

1 (16 oz) box lasagna noodles (no-boil)

8 oz mushrooms, sliced

2 small zucchini, sliced

2 small yellow squash, sliced

2 cups spinach, chopped

16 oz grated mozzarella

8 oz sliced fresh mozzarella

Grated Parmesan for garnish

Instructions

1. Mix basil, ricotta, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

2. Spread ¼ cup marinara in the bottom of the slow cooker.

3. Add a layer of uncooked noodles, then spread ⅓ of the ricotta mix on top.

4. Add ⅓ of mushrooms, zucchini, squash, and spinach.

5. Top with ⅓ mozzarella and ¼ of the remaining sauce.

6. Repeat layers 2 more times.

7. Finish with a top layer of noodles, sauce, and fresh mozzarella slices.

8. Cover with a clean towel and lid. Cook on HIGH for 3 hours.

9. Let cool 10–15 minutes. Garnish with Parmesan and fresh basil before serving.

Notes

No-boil noodles are ideal, but regular ones also work well.

Avoid over-layering sauce to prevent sogginess.

Place a clean kitchen towel under the lid to absorb steam.

Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 5 days. Reheats perfectly.

Freezer-friendly for up to 3 months.
