Ingredients
- 1 (25 oz) bag frozen cheese ravioli (or meat-filled)
- 4 cups marinara sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage (optional)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese (optional)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- If using meat, brown ground beef or sausage in a skillet, season with salt and pepper, and drain excess fat.
- Spray crockpot with cooking spray. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom.
- Add a layer of frozen ravioli, followed by sauce, meat (if using), ricotta (if using), and mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan on top.
- Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until ravioli is tender and cheese is melted.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
Notes
- Swap marinara for Alfredo sauce for a creamy white lasagna version.
- Add spinach, zucchini, or mushrooms for extra vegetables.
- Use spinach ravioli for a different twist.
- Uncover for the last 15 minutes if the dish seems watery.
- Can be made vegetarian by skipping meat and using extra veggies.
