Making Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna requires minimal effort. Follow these simple steps to create a comforting meal:

1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray the inside of the crockpot with non-stick cooking spray or line it with a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
2. Mix Ricotta Cheese: In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
3. Layer the Ingredients:
– Start by spreading 1 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of the crockpot.
– Place a single layer of frozen ravioli evenly over the sauce.
– Spoon dollops of the ricotta mixture over the ravioli.
– Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese atop the ricotta.
4. Repeat Layers:
– Continue layering by repeating the sauce, ravioli, ricotta, and mozzarella until you run out of ingredients, finishing with marinara on top.
5. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the last layer with grated Parmesan cheese.
6. Cover and Cook: Secure the lid and set the crockpot to low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours.
7. Check Doneness: The dish is ready when the ravioli is tender, and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
8. Cool Briefly: Let it sit, covered, for about 10-15 minutes before serving to allow for easy slicing.
9. Garnish: Optional—garnish with fresh basil or parsley to add a pop of color and flavor.

This method ensures each layer melds beautifully, creating a delightful dish that is sure to impress.
