Directions
Broil vegetables on each pan for 6 to 8 minutes or until vegetables begin to brown, turning halfway through. Place vegetables on paper towels; pat dry and cool. Brush one side of cooled zucchini and eggplant slices with pesto; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set vegetables aside.
Stir together 1-1/2 cups shredded mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan cheeses, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
To assemble, spread 1/4 cup pasta sauce in bottom of a 4-quart slow cooker. Layer with half each of the onions, mushroom, eggplant, and zucchini. Spread with 1/4 cup pasta sauce; top with half of ricotta cheese mixture. Layer with remaining onions, mushrooms, eggplant, zucchini, remaining 1/2 cup pasta sauce, and ricotta cheese mixture. Top with remaining 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella and fresh mozzarella slices.
Cover and cook on high for 2-1/2 to 3 hours or low for 4 to 5 hours or until eggplant is tender.
*Note: To cook on low heat setting, top with remaining 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella and fresh mozzarella during the last 1 hour of cooking.
To serve, cut lasagna and place on serving plates. Garnish with cracked black pepper and basil, if desired.
