Here’s a super simple and comforting Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna recipe that’s hands-off but full of flavor:
Ingredients
-
1 (25 oz) jar marinara sauce
-
1 (24 oz) package frozen cheese ravioli (or meat ravioli if you prefer)
-
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
-
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 cup ricotta cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
-
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
-
Prep the crockpot:
-
Lightly spray the inside of the crockpot with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
-
Layer the ingredients:
-
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom.
-
Add a layer of frozen ravioli (no need to thaw).
-
Dollop some ricotta (if using), sprinkle mozzarella and a little Parmesan.
-
Add another layer of sauce.
-
Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a generous layer of sauce and mozzarella on top.
-
-
Season:
-
Sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper between layers or on top.
-
-
Cook:
-
Cover and cook on low for 3–4 hours or high for 1.5–2 hours.
-
The ravioli should be tender and the cheese melted and bubbly.
-
-
Serve:
-
Let the lasagna rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
-
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
-
✅ Tips:
-
For a meaty version, add cooked ground beef or sausage to the layers.
-
You can mix spinach or other veggies into the ricotta layer for extra nutrition.
-
Using frozen ravioli saves prep time—no need to boil separately.
If you want, I can give a “5-ingredient ultra-easy” crockpot version that’s even faster and still tastes rich and cheesy.
