Steve's modifications
- The noodles were regular lasagna as that was what we had on hand and we need to clear the shelf.
- I used one summer squash (yellow) along with two zucchini to add a little color variety.
- I also used a package of the Al Fresco chicken meatballs (tomato and basil). The meatballs I sliced to make the layering easier (less lumpy).
I like this recipe as it was much easier overall. Slicing the zucchini, thawing the peas and meatballs received some forethought so they were ready when I was. Then it was a matter of building the layers in the crock pot turning it on and waiting for it be to be ready.
