xp: (spinach) lasagna rave!

I got this recipe from Oprah's show where she had Jessica Senfield on with her new cookbook.  I am vegetarian so this lasagna was right up my ally so I made it last night and it was awesome.  Simple, and so so good!Enjoy!3 cans crushed tomatoes (I could only find the giant cans, so I used 1.5 cans of the giant cans at Randalls).  3 cloves garlic (I chopped it up very fine)2 T oregano1/2 t kosher salt1/4 t red pepper flakes1/4 t black pepper2 containers fresh ricotta2 c grated mozzarella (I used a little more than 2 cups because I sprinkled it generously over the top of the lasagna at the end... so I'd plan on almost 3 cups).  1/4 c grated Parmesan12 lasagna noodles5 oz baby spinach
combine tomatoes, garlic, oregano, salt, red pepper, and black pepperin a separate bowl, mix ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesanin slow cooker spread layer of sauce top with four noodles.  (I had to break a few of the noodles to smaller to fit in my crock pot).  
spread almost a cup of sauce over noodleslayer with spinach and cheese mixturerepeat this step twicetop with remaining noodles, sauce, and mozzarella
cook on low, covered for 3-31/2 hours  (I cooked for three hours in my crock pot and it was perfection).

  • I wanted to add that I have her old cookbook called Deceptively Delicious and everything in there that I have tried has been amazing. All of the recipes use different vegetable and fruit purees so you are adding all of those nutrients and other good stuff without it being obvious to the eater (geared towards children and/or a picky husband). So if you are looking for a good cookbook I would definitely recommend it. The rice balls are the best :)
  • That sounds yummy- I'll have to check out her cookbook!
  • That sounds delicious. Thanks for posting. I need new recipes to add to our rotation (when I do decide to cook ;)
