- Number of Servings: 8
Ingredients
1 (26-ounce) jar prepared pasta sauce1 (10-ounce) box lasagna noodles 1 1/2 cup pesto 1 (15-ounce) container fat-free ricotta cheese1 (12-ounce) bag baby spinach1 cup grated Parmesan cheese16 ounces fat free shredded mozzarella cheese1/4 cup water
1. Put a spoonful of pasta sauce (about 1/4 cup) into the bottom of your cooker and swirl it around.
2. Add a layer of uncooked lasagna noodles (you're going to have to break them to make a layer).
3. Smear ricotta cheese and pesto onto the noodles.
4. Add a handful or two of baby spinach, and top with a layer of Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.
5. Repeat layers until you've run out of ingredients.
6. Before closing the pot, put 1/4 cup of water into the empty pasta sauce jar and close and shake. Pour this saucy water over the top of everything.
7. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or on high for about 3 to 4. You'll know it's done when the top layer begins to brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. It will also pull a bit away from the sides.
8. Uncover, and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

The easiest way to cut down on sodium is to make your own pesto. Also, experiment with other cheeses (Parmesan is high in sodium).
