Make a comforting, cheesy, meatless Italian dinner with this simple dump-and-go recipe using pre-made ravioli in your Crockpot.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (25 ounce) package refrigerated cheese ravioli
  • 1 (24 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 garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, egg, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until combined.
  2. Spread about 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
  3. Arrange half of the refrigerated ravioli in a single layer over the sauce. Do not overlap them too much.
  4. Spread half of the ricotta mixture evenly over the ravioli layer.
  5. Sprinkle 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer.
  6. Spoon another 1 cup of marinara sauce over the mozzarella.
  7. Repeat the layers: remaining ravioli, remaining ricotta mixture, remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and the remaining marinara sauce.
  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.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and a little extra Parmesan cheese on top during the last 15 minutes of cooking, or just before serving.
  10. Let the Crockpot Ravioli Casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use frozen ravioli, but you may need to increase the cooking time by about 30 minutes.
  • For a richer flavor, use a roasted garlic or mushroom marinara sauce.
  • If you prefer a thicker casserole, drain off any excess liquid before serving.
  • This recipe works well with spinach and cheese ravioli for added greens.
