Do you not layer the vegetables and pasta sheets?
No layering needed.
Hello. I prepared it with whatever pasta I had, didn’t have lasagna sheets. Anyways, it turned out to be great!!! My 8 year old son who is quite picky had 2 portions, so it speaks for itself. Thanks 🙂 ??
What size /. Shape sc would be best for this?
You could use any size the ingredients fit into… just keep in mind an emptier cooker may cook faster 🙂
Is that fresh or dried lasagne sheets Paulene?
I’m not certain which they used but I usually use dry myself
Hi, Would this be 2-3 hours on high or 4-6 hours on low?
It’s high 2-3hrs 🙂
What IS the tea towel trick, please? I’m new to using my slow cooker. Thankyou.
Tea Towel Trick explained
Cooked this today, the family loved it. I want to try this in the 1.5 litre slow cooker, so I can make small batches for lunches. It is very tasty indeed, and will be a regular event at our place. Note, instead of using just cheddar, I added some parmesan.
A quick throw together for stunning flavour. I added a bit of sambal oelek (chilli) for spice, and I’ll be doing that again. Love this so much that I made extra for my work lunches (freeze and re-heat works well). This will be a regular item in my menu, even though I’m not vegetarian.
Mine turned out a bit dry maybe because I added extra ingredients like mushrooms onion garlic and herbs, I will make it again but will also add a white sauce. Nice to add another meatless dish to the menu.
A regular in our house and always a winner.
I usually don’t have pesto so I might add tomato paste, or sweet chilli sauce instead.
Hey, passata jars come in various sizes.
