My family loved this -- so easy and so good and it is a WW recipe too - 8 points/serving. Recipe source: Weight Watchers.com

• Ready In: 6 hrs 20 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1  lb lean ground beef (I used very lean ground beef with only 4% fat but I think this will also work with ground turkey too)
• 1  onion, chopped
• 1  garlic clove, minced
• 1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes, crushed
• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1  teaspoon dried oregano
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1⁄4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1  cup part-skim ricotta cheese
• 1 1⁄2 cups lowfat mozzarella cheese, shredded (I used WW mozzarella)
• 6  lasagna noodles
• 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded

Directions

1. In a large skillet over medium high heat brown beef, onion and garlic, stirring to break up beef (5-10 minutes) until meat is brown.
2. Stir in next 6 ingredients (tomatoes - red pepper flakes) and simmer another 5 minutes.
3. Meanwhile in a small bowl combine ricotta and 1 cup of the mozzarella.
4. Spoon 1/3 of the tomato/beef mixture into crock pot. Break 3 lasagna noodles in half and arrange on top of tomato/beef mixture and top with half of the ricota mixture. Repeat with second layer. Finish with the remaining 1/3 of the meat mixture.
5. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
6. In a small bowl combine remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle over meat mixture and set aside for 10 minutes or until cheese melts and lasagna is firm (10 minutes or so).
