Heat oil in large skillet on medium heat. Add squash, mushrooms and onions, cook and stir 3-5 min. or until vegetables are tender. Stir vegetables into sauce.

To assemble, spoon 1/2 of the vegetable mixture into bottom of slow cooker. Top with half the noodles (broken to fit) and half the cheese mixture. Repeat for second layer.
