Method
- In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and egg. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well until everything is nicely combined.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of your slow cooker to prevent sticking.
- Arrange a layer of frozen ravioli over the sauce. You can slightly overlap them if needed.
- Dollop spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture over the ravioli. Try to spread it as evenly as possible.
- Sprinkle about 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta.
- Pour another layer of marinara sauce over the mozzarella.
- Repeat layers: ravioli, ricotta mixture, mozzarella, marinara sauce, until all ingredients are used, ending with a final layer of marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese on top.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or on high for 1.5-2 hours, or until the ravioli are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Cooking times can vary depending on your slow cooker, so keep an eye on it!
- Once cooked, let the lasagna sit for about 10 minutes before serving. This helps it to set up a bit.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Don't thaw the ravioli before using them in the crockpot, as this will cause them to become mushy. Use a high-quality marinara sauce for the best flavor. For a richer flavor, try using a combination of mozzarella, provolone, and Parmesan cheese. If the lasagna is too watery, place a paper towel under the lid of the slow cooker to absorb excess moisture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until heated through.
