Slow Cooker Ravioli Lasagn
Ingredients:
1 (25 oz) bag frozen ravioli (cheese or meat)
1 (24 oz) jar marinara or pasta sauce
1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage (optional)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Optional: chopped spinach or sautéed veggies for layering
Instructions:
1. Brown the meat (if using) in a skillet over medium heat. Drain any grease.
2. Spray the inside of your crockpot with cooking spray
3. Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom.
4. Add a single layer of frozen ravioli.
5. Sprinkle some meat (if using) and shredded mozzarella, then a spoonful of sauce.
6. Repeat the layers (ravioli → meat → sauce → cheese) until ingredients are used up.
7. Top with a generous layer of mozzarella + Parmesan cheese.
8. Sprinkle Italian seasoning on top.
9. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours or HIGH for 2 hours, until hot and bubbly.
Optional Finishing Touch:
Remove the lid during the last 15 minutes and let the cheese slightly crisp if you like it that way.
Notes:
No need to thaw the ravioli!
You can substitute with spinach ravioli or add ricotta between layers for extra creaminess.
