Make this hearty, cheesy layered pasta dish easily in your slow cooker. This recipe uses ravioli instead of traditional lasagna noodles for a simple, comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (25 ounce) package refrigerated cheese ravioli
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 5-quart or larger slow cooker.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, beaten egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until combined.
  3. Spread about 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of the slow cooker.
  4. Arrange half of the ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.
  5. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the ravioli layer.
  6. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
  7. Spoon another 1 cup of marinara sauce over the cheese layer.
  8. Repeat the layers: remaining ravioli, remaining ricotta mixture, and another 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.
  9. Top with the remaining marinara sauce.
  10. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, or on high for 1.5 to 2 hours. Do not overcook, as the ravioli can become too soft.
  11. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and all of the Parmesan cheese over the top during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  12. Let the crockpot ravioli lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use frozen ravioli if you prefer, but thaw them slightly before layering to help them cook evenly.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the remaining marinara sauce before pouring it over the top layer.
  • For a richer flavor, use a meat sauce instead of plain marinara.
