SLOW COOKER LASAGNE

SLOW COOKER LASAGNE

Serves 4.

Modified from an Allrecipes recipe.

Syn Free, if using 4 x HEX's for the cheeses

450g extra lean mince
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
800ml passata
Tomato puree to taste
1 tsp. dried oregano
350g BGTY (or similar) cottage cheese 
Dried lasagne sheets
195g reduced fat Mozarella - equivalent of 3 x HEX's
40g grated, reduced-fat mature Cheddar - 1 x HEX

I don't usually pre-cook anything I put in the slow cooker but this definitely needs it.

Spray a large frying pan well with Frylight and cook the onion, garlic and mince until browned. Drain off any fat.
Add the passata, tomato puree, oregano and a pinch of salt and stir until well mixed. Cook until heated through.
In a large bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, Mozarella and grated Cheddar.
Spray the slow cooker with Frylight to help with the cleaning afterwards. 
Spoon a layer of the mince mixture onto the base of the slow cooker. Add a double layer of the uncooked lasagne sheets, breaking them, if necessary, to fit into the cooker.
Top the pasta with some of the cheese.
Repeat the sauce, pasta and cheese layering until everything is used up. Finish with a sauce or cheese layer.

Cover and cook on Low for 4-6 hours.
