Make a rich, comforting lasagna without the fuss by using store-bought ravioli in your slow cooker. This dump and go slow cooker meal is perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (25 ounce) packages refrigerated or frozen cheese ravioli
  • 2 (24 ounce) jars marinara sauce (or meat sauce for a heartier meal)
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Instructions

  1. If using frozen ravioli, thaw them slightly on the counter for about 15 minutes before starting.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder until combined. This is your cheese layer.
  3. Lightly grease the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
  4. Spread about 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of the slow cooker.
  5. Arrange half of the ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.
  6. Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the ravioli layer.
  7. Sprinkle 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta.
  8. Spoon another 1 cup of marinara sauce over the cheese layer.
  9. Repeat the layers: remaining ravioli, remaining ricotta mixture, 1/3 of the mozzarella, and another cup of sauce.
  10. Top with the remaining sauce and the final 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese.
  11. 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.
  12. Let the crockpot lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use meat sauce instead of plain marinara for a richer flavor.
  • For a low-carb option, use cheese-filled tortellini instead of ravioli.
  • If the top cheese layer does not brown, you can place a layer of foil over the top during the last 30 minutes of cooking to help trap steam, or briefly broil the top layer after transferring to a baking dish.
