This delicious Slow Cooker Lasagna is easy and filled with deliciousness.
 
Feeding my family is my way of showing love. I admit I was lost for a while, letting work be the front-runner and settling for boxed dinners or food that didn’t have a purpose. Then, one night, as we shoveled the cardboard-tasting food into our mouths, I realized that I enjoy cooking. That I love loving my family from the inside out. That the best recipes start with the best ingredients.
 
We’ve been back on track for a while, choosing only the ingredients I trust, like Tuttorosso Tomatoes. The quality of these ingredients that help me to serve love in every bite. You can see the difference of Tuttorosso Tomatoes compared to another name-brand can of tomatoes in this post.

It’s no accident that Tuttorosso Tomatoes look and taste as good as they do right out of the can.
 
They come from farms that have invested generations of knowledge and a love of the land to produce the best-tasting tomatoes.
 
The quality found in each can is one you can see, feel. smell, and taste. Every. Single. Time. These canned tomatoes are picked at the peak of their summer ripeness and treated with the same care and attention as any Nona’s backyard garden.
 
This recipe for Slow Cooker Lasagna is a great spin on a classic and the Tuttorosso Tomatoes mean I am not compromising.
 
Let’s get started!

We use Tuttorosso Tomatoes for my Minestrone Recipe and my Authentic Italian Sauce. I consider them to be the secret of the complex flavors and beautiful colors of these finished dishes.
