Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Frozen Ravioli (cheese or meat-filled) – 1 package (about 20 oz)
  • Marinara Sauce – 3 cups
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese – 2 cups
  • Ricotta or Cottage Cheese – 1 to 1 ½ cups
  • Parmesan Cheese (grated) – ½ cup
  • Italian Seasoning – 1 teaspoon

Optional Ingredients

  • Ground Beef or Italian Sausage – 1 lb (optional, cooked and browned)
  • Garlic (minced) – 2 cloves (optional, sautéed)
  • Onion (finely chopped) – 1 small (optional, sautéed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce (Optional): Begin by browning ground meat if using. In a skillet, sauté garlic and onion until fragrant and translucent. Add the browned meat to marinara sauce along with Italian seasoning and mix well to combine. This creates a rich, flavorful base for your lasagna layers.
  2. Layer the Ingredients: Spoon a thin layer of the sauce on the bottom of the crockpot to prevent sticking. Add a layer of frozen ravioli (no need to thaw), then dot with spoonfuls of ricotta or cottage cheese. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the ricotta, then add another layer of sauce. Continue layering ravioli, cheese, and sauce until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous topping of mozzarella and parmesan cheese on the top.
  3. Cook on Low: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 4 to 5 hours. Avoid opening the lid frequently as this will extend cooking time. The ravioli should be tender and the cheeses melted and bubbly when done.
  4. Let It Rest Before Serving: Once cooking is complete, remove the lid and let the lasagna rest in the crockpot for 10 to 15 minutes. This resting time allows the layers to set, making it easier to serve clean portions.

Notes

  • Use frozen ravioli directly—no boiling required.
  • Distribute sauce and cheese evenly to get balanced flavor in every bite.
  • Ensure adequate sauce to prevent ravioli from drying out during cooking.
  • Cook low and slow to enhance flavors and keep textures tender.
  • Customize cheese amounts to suit your texture and flavor preferences.
