Spray crock, you will be glad you did!
Now for the layers!
Spoon about 1/2 cup of sauce mixture into the bottom of a crockpot.
Top with 4 noodles, breaking into pieces to fit.
Top with HALF of the cheese mixture, then veggie mixture.
Top with 4 noodles
Top with remaining cheese mixture, then veggie mixture.
Top with 4 remaining noodles
Top with remaining sauce mixture.
Cover and cook on low setting for 6-8 hours. OR, since I had a doctor’s appointment on the snowy day this was planned for, we made it at noon and ate it at 6 pm, cooking on high for 5 hours. Somewhere along the line, my crock pot turned off, yet this turned out fabulous! Crock pots are very forgiving!
Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and if you want to add color, some parsley. Put lid back on and let sit for 10 minutes.
Serve with a green salad and enjoy thoroughly!
