Add half of the ricotta mixture and carefully spread over lasagna noodles with a frosting knife. | 15. Cover with a layer of sauce. Then add another layer of lasagna noodles, ricotta mixture, sauce. | 16. End with a final layer of lasagna noodles and the remaining sauce. | 17. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours. (I have to set mine on 8 hours and shut it off or switch it to keep warm after 4 hours since my slow cooker cooks anything under 8 on high.). | 18. In the last 60 minutes, sprinkle top with remaining Romano cheese and slices of mozzarella. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
