Make this easy weeknight pasta casserole in your slow cooker. This dump and go slow cooker meal uses pre-made ravioli for a quick, cheesy ricotta slow cooker dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (25 ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 1 (15 ounce) container whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, egg, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder until combined. This is your creamy ricotta layer.
  2. Pour about 1 cup of marinara sauce into the bottom of a 5-quart or 6-quart slow cooker, spreading it to coat the bottom surface.
  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.
  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. Pour the 1/2 cup of water around the edges of the slow cooker insert.
  9. 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.
  10. Carefully remove the lid. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

  • You can use meat or spinach ravioli if you prefer a different filling.
  • For a thicker sauce, reduce the amount of water slightly, but do not omit it entirely as it helps prevent scorching.
  • This recipe is great for making ahead; assemble it completely, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before cooking on low for an extra 30 minutes.
