Ingredients

    1 (26 oz) can or jar of your favorite pasta sauce (I used a marinara for nutrition calcs)
    1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes (drained)
    1 (4 oz) can mushrooms or 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
    2 cups fresh spinach (optional - included in nutrition)
    1 cup sliced peppers, red or green (optional - included in nutrition)
    2 cups cottage cheese (I used low-fat in nutrition calcs)
    1 egg
    1 cup mozzarella cheese
    3 cups brown rice, cooked (brown rice works best in the slow cooker. White rice tends to get too mushy.)
    1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Tips

Another variation: I made a creamy mushroom sauce to use instead of marinara. I also added a few chopped up artichoke hearts.


Directions

1. Combine pasta sauce, tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach and peppers in one bowl.
2. In another bowl stir together the cottage cheese, egg and mozzarella.
3. Spray a 4-6 quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Layer a third of the sauce, 1 1/2 cups of the rice, half of the cottage cheese mixture. Repeat layer and top with remaining sauce.
4. Cover and cook on HIGH 2-3 hours or LOW 4-6 hours.
5. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.
