Prepare all vegetables. In a bowl, mix spices, cottage cheese (ricotta could also be used, but calories will be a little higher,) parmesan, egg whites, and all but 1/4 cup of the mozzarella. In a slow cooker, pour 1-2 tbsp of pasta sauce in the bottom. Top with no boil lasagna noodles. Break to fit. It doesn't have to be perfect. Top noodles with app. 1/2 cup of cheese mixture. Top cheese mixture with spinach, then sliced zucchini and yellow squash, and then some sauce. Repeat layering until crock pot is filled. Finish with a layer of noodles topped with remaining sauce and reserved cheese. Cook in slow cooker on low for 4-5 hours. Do not over cook or the noodles will get very soggy. Serve.
