Re: S/O: Real Food Recipes
vegetarian lasagna
brown eggplant and chop up zucchini, mix ricotta cheese and some other kind of shredded cheese (I will mix up my different types of cheeses) and half a cup of parm cheese
after the eggplant is done, saute chopped onions, mix with various italian spices (I use a dried italian mix) and whatever you normally use for spaghetti sauce.
Then layer in the crockpot in this order
sauce
noodles (the actual recipe that I've deviated so far away from it isn't even funny says to cook your noodles first, I do not, just add a little water in the pot)
eggplant
cheese
sauce
noodles
eggplant
cheese
noodles
sauce
zucchini
another half cup of parm cheese and a couple of ounces of whatever shredded cheese you used)
cook on low until cheese on top is melted and slightly brown.
It is super awesome! My whole family raves about it... You can make it as "real" as you want to... I use jarred spag sauce and regular las noodles because that's what works best for me. Oh, and the recipe says to slice the eggplant, but no one except dh really likes eggplant, so I dice it up instead.
it sounds like a lot or work, but I seriously put it together in 15 minutes the other night. I let it sit overnight in the fridge, added in some water the next morning, and turned it on.
