Pesto-Spinach Lasagna:<\/span><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

1 (26-ounce) jar prepared pasta sauce<\/span>
\n1 (10-ounce) box lasagna noodles <\/span>
\n1 (11-ounce) container pesto <\/span>
\n1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese<\/span>
\n1 (12-ounce) bag baby spinach<\/span>
\n1 cup grated Parmesan cheese<\/span>
\n16 ounces mozzarella cheese, sliced<\/span>
\n1\/4 cup water<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Directions:<\/span><\/p>\n

Place a spoonful of pasta sauce (about 1\/4 cup)
\ninto the bottom of your crockpot and swirl it around. Add a layer of uncooked
\nlasagna noodles (you’re going to have to break them to make a layer). Smear
\nricotta cheese and pesto onto the noodles. Add a handful or two of baby
\nspinach, and top with a layer of Parmesan and sliced mozzarella cheese. Repeat
\nlayers until you’ve run out of ingredients. You may have to squish it down to
\nmake it fit. Before closing the pot, put 1\/4 cup of water into the empty pasta
\nsauce jar and close and shake. Pour this saucy water over the top of
\neverything.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nCover and cook on low for 6 hours, or on high for
\nabout 3 to 4. You’ll know it’s done when the top layer begins to brown and the
\ncheese is melted and bubbly. It will also pull a bit away from the sides. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Uncover, and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.<\/span> <\/u><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
