I...I made this today and it turned out just great. I did not follow the recipe exactly but used it as a framework. I have made both lasagna and stuffed shells in the past without boiling them first and that is my preferred method, but had not fixed lasagna in a crock pot. I have one of those WestBend 6 quart rectangular crock pots which are ideal for cooking lasagna.

And I even added in onion, garlic, basil and oregano to the pasta sauce.

Does anyone have a 6 quart, oblong cooker recommendation? Seems I am in the market for one that actually cooks on "low". My 25 year old, old-school cooker works perfectly, but isn't as big.
