Crock Pot recipes are perfect for family meals. Today I’m sharing a Slow Cooker Lasagna Rolls recipe.
Warm comfort foods and slow cooker recipes are in everyone’s minds when the cooler weather comes around. With the kids back in school we are back on a schedule and eating family meals at home. With the schedule in place, I’ve gotten better about planning out some meals for the week. I like to try to include a slow cooker recipe as often as I can. I’m starting off the month by sharing a recipe for Slow Cooker Lasagna Rolls.
To make the slow cooker lasagna rolls, cook 12-13 lasagna noodles, depending on what size your Crock-Pot is. Mix together ricotta cheese, eggs, shredded cheese and parmesan. Pour one jar of spaghetti sauce in the slow cooker. Lay the lasagna noodles on a cutting board a couple at a time. Spread 2 ½ to 3 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning. I used an Italian seasoning grinder and it added a great flavor!
Roll up the lasagna noodles and carefully cut them in half. Place the lasagna rolls in the sauce in the slow cooker. Continue until the slow cooker is full. Top with 1 cup shredded cheese. Cook on low for 4-6 hours. Most of the sauce is soaked up while cooking so serve with more spaghetti sauce.
- 12-13 lasagna noodles
- 15 oz container ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded cheese
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs
- Italian seasoning grinder
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 2 jars of spaghetti sauce
- Cook 12-13 lasagna noodles (depending on what size your Crock Pot is) according to the instructions on the box.
- Mix together ricotta cheese, eggs, shredded cheese and parmesan.
- Pour one jar of spaghetti sauce in the slow cooker and turn on low.
- Lay the lasagna noodles on a cutting board a couple at a time. Spread 2 ½ to 3 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
- Roll up the lasagna noodles and carefully cut them in half.
- Place the lasagna rolls in the sauce in the slow cooker. Continue until the slow cooker is full.
- Top with 1 cup shredded cheese.
- Cook on low for 4-6 hours.
- Most of the sauce is soaked up while cooking so serve with more spaghetti sauce.

April 26, 2014 at 11:34 amI was wondering if you stand the noodles up in the crockpot on the cut end or lay them down on the rolled up seam .

April 27, 2014 at 11:17 pmI stood them up on the cut end. Happy Cooking!

March 19, 2014 at 11:28 amYou say “shredded cheese” but aren’t specific on which kind. Should we assume mozzarella?
Kathy says
March 19, 2014 at 11:29 amOops, that question was already asked, sorry!

February 17, 2014 at 1:29 pmThis may sound stupid but I have reread the instructions three times and I see no instructions as to what to do with the second jar of spaghetti sauce. Do you serve it on the side or top the lasagna rolls before putting on the cheese?
Tonia says
February 17, 2014 at 1:36 pmI’m so glad you asked! Yes, you spoon the sauce on when serving as if you were making spaghetti since most of the sauce you added when baking was absorbed. Here is where, in the instructions, the 2 jars are needed:
3. Pour one jar of spaghetti sauce in the slow cooker and turn on low.
9. Most of the sauce is soaked up while cooking so serve with more spaghetti sauce.

December 5, 2013 at 11:55 amMe again. What size jar of spaghetti sauce are you referring to? And has anyone else included ground beef?
Tonia says
December 5, 2013 at 12:21 pmI guess I didn’t even realize there were different sizes because I always buy the same thing. Let me check.
Tonia says
December 5, 2013 at 12:47 pmI used (2) 24 oz Classico Four Cheese Pasta Sauce.
Monica says
December 2, 2013 at 11:42 amHow many people does this recipe serve?
Tonia says
December 2, 2013 at 11:49 amHi Monica,
Depending on how much lasagna everyone wants to eat, 8 people would get about 3 lasagna rolls each. Happy cooking and thanks for stopping by!

Stacey says
October 27, 2013 at 11:21 amYou call for 2 cups of shredded cheese, what type did you use?
Tonia says
October 27, 2013 at 3:59 pmI used Colby Jack but you can use whatever you have on hand.
Anne says
October 22, 2013 at 12:30 pmI’m wondering the same thing. Which way are they being cut? Thanks. Sounds like a delicious new take on lasagna.
Sheryl says
October 17, 2013 at 10:13 amCut in half which way? Can you just leave them as is and place them in crock pot?
katie says
October 21, 2013 at 3:13 pmI was wondering the same thing! I’m unclear of this step. :/
Tonia says
October 22, 2013 at 5:27 pmSorry everyone! I’ve been on vacation. I tried responding to this but it looks like my response didn’t post for some reason. Okay, there is only one way you can cut the lasagna rolls in half. If you cut it the right way, you will have 2 short rolls but if you cut it the wrong way the lasagna rolls will unroll and you will just have a bunch of pasta segments. I don’t have an lasgana noodles in my pantry right now but I will buy some and post a photo soon.
As for just leaving them as they are, without cutting them, you can definitely do that! I wanted to fill my entire slow cooker and I wanted to have the sauce almost cover the lasagna rolls. The only way I could do it without making more rolls and adding another jar of sauce was to cut them in half. If you do leave them whole, I would love for you to stop back to tell us how they turned out!

October 12, 2013 at 11:58 pmMmmm…love the concept of reconfiguring lasagna! These look yummy!
Court says
October 11, 2013 at 9:10 pmCan you use cottage cheese instead of ricotta?
Tonia says
October 12, 2013 at 12:33 amI have never tried it due to my family’s preferences but from what I saw online, you can. Mix the cottage cheese with the parmesan and shredded cheese but omit the eggs. Best of luck and thanks for stopping by!
Carrie says
September 16, 2015 at 9:35 amI did half and half.. straight cottage doesn’t hold up well in crock
