    Yum, I love lasagna. I have never tried cooking in the slow cooker.

  5. I suppose that comfort food is defined by ethnicity in many instances so lasagna and the Irish seems a but of an odd choice. I would have thought something with potatoes - Shepherd's pie perhaps.

  9. We had lasagna last night as it rained and then snowed outdoors. Perfect for the theme, Bill! In a slow cooker!

  10. What a great idea. And obviously you al had a recipe to follow. I looked all over for vegetarian lasagna in the store where I used to buy it. There was none. I'd rather buy meals like that that will just serve one meal, rather than have all the left-overs.

  12. I like lasagne. Never seen a circular one before. How did you manage that? You'll be photographing square pizzas next.

    God bless, Bill. Thanx.

    1. This is my wife's recipe.

      I keep it really simple, layering noodles, sauce, mozzarella, and either cottage cheese or ricotta. To make the sauce, I use what is called passata here--it's the thickness of tomato puree in the US. I thicken it with what would be tomato paste in the US and add garlic, oregano, basil, and sometimes parsley. Or I have sometimes used Italian herb blend. Could also use tomato paste thinned with water, if that's what's on hand :-) If one used sauce in a jar, the herbs wouldn't be needed.
      Veggies and meat could be added as desired, but should be cooked first.

      Add a bit of sauce to the bottom of the crock, place uncooked lasagne sheets/noodles on top, breaking as needed to cover the sauce. Add more sauce, ricotta/cottage cheese, then a layer of shredded mozzarella. Repeat until you're almost to the top of the crock, but leave an inch or two at the top for expansion while cooking. I cooked mine on high for 5 hours.

      Remove the lid and let sit for 20 minutes before cutting.
