  1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet, then stir in the marinara sauce and set aside.

  2. Mix the ricotta with half the mozzarella and the grated Parmesan.

  3. Spread a layer of meat sauce in the slow cooker, top with broken lasagna noodles, then dollop with ricotta mixture.

  4. Repeat the layers, finishing with sauce and the remaining mozzarella on top.

  5. Cook on LOW for 4 hours until the noodles are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbling.

    4 hours
  6. Let it rest 15 minutes before slicing to set the layers.

    15 minutes

Chef's tip

Line the slow cooker with parchment for lift-out slices, and resting is non-negotiable — it stops the layers from sliding apart.

Suggested pairing

A medium-bodied Chianti and a crisp green salad round out the meal.
