Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (25 ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli, uncooked
  • 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
  • 1/4 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, salt, and pepper until combined.
  2. Spread about 1 cup of the marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of a 5-quart or larger slow cooker.

  4. Dollop half of the ricotta mixture over the ravioli layer, spreading gently.
  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 mozzarella cheese, and top with the rest of the 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 are tender and the cheese is melted. Do not overcook to prevent mushiness.
  9. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese before serving. Let stand for 10 minutes before scooping out portions.

Notes
