Prepare this easy Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna for a comforting, cheesy dinner with minimal effort. Layer frozen ravioli, rich meat sauce, and mozzarella in your slow cooker for a hands-off meal perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (24 ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce or meat sauce
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup water or broth
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Lightly coat the inside of a 5-quart or larger slow cooker with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder until combined.
  3. Spread about 1 cup of the marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of the slow cooker.
  4. Arrange half of the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.
  5. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the ravioli layer.
  6. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta.
  7. Pour half of the remaining marinara sauce over the cheese layer.
  8. Repeat the layers: remaining ravioli, remaining ricotta mixture, remaining mozzarella cheese, and remaining marinara sauce.
  9. Pour the 1/4 cup of water or broth around the edges of the slow cooker.
  10. 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.
  11. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top during the last 15 minutes of cooking, or immediately after turning off the heat.
  12. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute jarred meat sauce for plain marinara, or brown 1 pound of ground beef or Italian sausage and mix it into the sauce before layering.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • If your slow cooker runs hot, check for doneness closer to the minimum cook time to prevent the ravioli from becoming too soft.
