Brown meat and onion in large skillet and drain off excess fat. Add garlic, mushrooms, salt, wine, spaghetti sauce, paste, and tomato sauce to meat mixture, mix well and set aside. In a medium bowl combine egg, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese and parsley flakes, and set aside. Spray crock pot with cooking oil. Layer in a 5 to 6 quart crock pot 4 noodles, broken into pieces to fit. Spread half the ricotta cheese mixture over noodles. Top with 1/4 of meat mixture and 1/4 of shredded cheese. Top with 4 noodles, remaining cheese mixture, 1/4 of meat mixture and 1/4 shredded cheese. Add remaining 4 noodles and remaining meat mixture. Cover and cook on low setting for 4 to 7 hours. About 10 minutes before serving, sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese. Cover and let stand 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
