Make a comforting, cheesy lasagna using ravioli in your slow cooker. This easy, meatless recipe is perfect for a simple weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (25 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (24 ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli, uncooked
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, egg, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. This is your cheese mixture.
  2. Pour about 1 cup of the marinara sauce into the bottom of a 5 or 6 quart slow cooker, spreading it evenly.
  3. Arrange half of the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.
  4. Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture evenly over the ravioli layer.
  5. Spoon half of the remaining marinara sauce over the ricotta layer.
  6. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
  7. Repeat the layers: remaining ravioli, remaining ricotta mixture, remaining marinara sauce, and the final 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
  8. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours or on HIGH for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese before serving. Let stand for 10 minutes before scooping out portions.

Notes

  • You can use any flavor of cheese ravioli you prefer for this meat free slow cooker dinner.
  • If you want a slightly richer sauce, substitute half of the marinara with a jar of Alfredo sauce for a creamy texture.
  • This recipe works well as an overnight crockpot ravioli recipe if you cook it on the LOW setting for 6 to 8 hours, checking for doneness near the end.
