Heat the oil in large skillet over medium-high heat then add mushrooms, pepper, onion and spinach, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the cooking water evaporates.

Mix the cottage cheese and 250g of the mozzarella cheese with some salt in a large bowl.

Assemble the lasagne in the slow cooker with first the pasta sauce, a single layer of lasagne sheets, ⅓ of the cooked vegetables a single layer of the courgettes and ⅓ of the cottage cheese mixture.
