Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package of frozen ravioli (25 oz)
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Spray the inside of the crockpot with cooking spray to prevent the ingredients from sticking during the cooking process.
  2. Layer the Sauce: Spread a layer of marinara sauce evenly on the bottom of the crockpot to prevent sticking and form a flavorful base.
  3. Add Ravioli: Place a layer of frozen ravioli over the marinara sauce in an even layer to form the first pasta part of the lasagna.
  4. Spread Ricotta: Carefully spoon and spread ricotta cheese over the layer of ravioli to create a creamy texture for the layers.
  5. Add Cheeses: Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly on top of the ricotta layer to add gooey and sharp cheesy flavors.
  6. Repeat Layers: Continue layering the marinara sauce, ravioli, ricotta, and shredded cheeses until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  7. Season: Sprinkle the top with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper for added flavor and aromatic appeal.
  8. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 4 to 5 hours, or until the dish is heated through, and the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Do not thaw the frozen ravioli before layering; they cook perfectly from frozen.
  • You can customize the marinara sauce with added garlic or chili flakes for extra flavor.
  • Use a 4 to 6-quart crockpot for best results.
  • For a meatier version, add cooked ground beef or sausage in the layers.
  • Allow the lasagna to rest 10 minutes before serving to set.
