Slow-Cooker Vegetarian Lasagna for One

Now any one person can make lasagna for dinner and not just someone that needs to feed an army.  I stumbled onto the need for this here single serving lasagna recipe today.  I ended up calling Kiley to come on by to visit with her little sister and brother, after already starting my Slow-Cooker Italian Sausage Lasagna.  And I felt wicked guilty.  Just last week Rich told me, the morning of- cause he is quick like that, that she had wanted a lasagna for her birthday dinner, but I had already been to the market and had started something else for her.  And here I was asking her to come on over and I was making lasagna with meat in it.  So, since I still had a few hours before she was to come, I figured that I still had time to whip a little one out just for her.  Since she had been wanting a cheese lasagna (she is a hard-core vegetarian) for some time now, I could not leave her out.  So I got out my mini dipper slow-cooker and layered it up.  And her comment after her first bite was, "This is fantastic."  And that made my day.

3 uncooked lasagna noodles (divided)
1- 8oz. can of tomato sauce (divided)
Italian seasoning
3 T. of water (divided)
3 thick slices of fresh mozzarella (divided)
freshly grated Romano cheese
fresh chopped parsley for garnish

-Grease the inside well of your mini dipper slow-cooker.  Crack 1 lasagna noodle into 4-5 pieces and layer them across the bottom.  Follow with 1/3 of the tomato sauce, a light sprinkling of the Italian seasoning, 1 T. of the water, 1 slice of mozzarella and a nice heavy sprinkling of the Romano cheese.  Repeat all layers 2 more times.  Plug in (the little dipper pots have only an on setting, which is like low) the slow-cooker, cover and let it go for about 3 hours.  Remove with a large serving spoon and garnish with some more freshly grated Romano cheese and parsley.  Serves 1.  Enjoy!

  1. Awesome recipe can't wait to try it. Nice to find something that sounds delicious and only for one. I too am a hard core vegan but I do not eat dairy but hubby does so this will be a nice change for him. Thanks.
