Here’s a delicious, hands-off comfort meal for a Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna—creamy, cheesy, and perfect for busy nights. 🍝🧀
Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
- 1 lb (450 g) frozen cheese or meat ravioli
- 2 cups marinara or spaghetti sauce
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Optional: cooked ground beef or sausage (1 cup)
- Optional garnish: fresh basil or parsley
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crockpot
- Spray the crockpot with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Layer the Ingredients
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the crockpot.
- Place half of the frozen ravioli in a single layer.
- Spoon half of the ricotta over the ravioli and sprinkle with half of the mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Repeat the layers: remaining ravioli, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and top with remaining sauce.
- Sprinkle Italian seasoning on top.
3. Cook
- Cover and cook on low for 3–4 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until ravioli are cooked through and cheese is melted.
- Tip: If your crockpot tends to bubble over, place a small piece of foil under the lid to prevent spills.
4. Serve
- Scoop portions with a large spoon.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
- Serve with garlic bread or a simple salad.
Tips
- No need to thaw ravioli—frozen works perfectly.
- For extra flavor, stir in cooked ground beef or Italian sausage before layering.
- Make-ahead: Assemble the night before and refrigerate; cook the next day on low.
