Rich. Nourishing. Deeply satisfying—this is supper, perfected for real life. Born from the spirit of Italian nonnas and perfected in Midwest kitchens, this recipe transforms humble pantry staples into a bowl that feeds both body and spirit. The slow cooker coaxes every flavor from the tomatoes; the broken lasagna noodles soften into tender ribbons; the triple-cheese topping melts like a promise. And best of all? It’s ready when you are—no frantic timing, no last-minute stress. Just set it before dawn, live your day, and return to a kitchen smelling of home and mercy.
✨ Best of all? Naturally make-ahead, freezer-friendly, and always the first to vanish at potlucks.
“Simmer, rest, and share grace in a bowl.”
