- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and chopped spinach. Mix well and set aside.
Lightly grease the inside of the slow cooker with olive oil.
Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of the slow cooker as the base layer.
Place a layer of uncooked lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, breaking them as needed to fit the shape of the slow cooker.
Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture evenly over the noodles.
Add a layer of thinly sliced zucchini and mushrooms on top of the ricotta layer.
Sprinkle 1/4 of the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the vegetables.
Pour 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly on top.
Repeat these layers (noodles, ricotta mixture, vegetables, cheeses, sauce) twice more, finishing with a final layer of marinara sauce and the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on Low for 4 hours, or until the lasagna noodles are fully tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Turn off the slow cooker and let the lasagna rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
