HOW TO MAKE CROCKPOT LASAGNA WITH RAVIOLI

Crockpot lasagna made with frozen ravioli is so easy to make! This recipe used cheese ravioli in place of the traditional lasagna noodles and ricotta cheese. The ravioli is layered in your crockpot with Italian sausage, shredded mozzarella cheese, pasta sauce, and parmesan cheese. It is cooked on low for 3-4 hours. See below for detailed recipe instructions.

CAN YOU COOK FROZEN RAVIOLI IN A CROCKPOT?

Yes! You can cook frozen ravioli in your slow cooker. The ravioli is layered in this casserole right out of the freezer. Cooking the ravioli in sauce in your crockpot eliminates the need for boiling your ravioli.

WHAT KIND OF RAVIOLI SHOULD I USE FOR RAVIOLI LASAGNA?

Because this recipe is for ravioli lasagna, I suggest using cheese ravioli so that your dish has ricotta cheese. If you choose to use meat ravioli, you will be missing the classic ricotta that you normally find in lasagna.

HOW TO CUSTOMIZE RAVIOLI LASAGNA

You can switch up your crockpot ravioli in lots of ways to make it your own! Here are a few ways to make ravioli casserole your own:

• add fresh spinach to your layers
• use ground beef instead of Italian sausage
• add sauteed onions and garlic to your meat
• add a splash of red wine to your sauce

WHAT IS BULK ITALIAN SAUSAGE?

Bulk Italian sausage is a pork sausage that is ground and not in a casing. You can buy bulk Italian sausage in a roll form in your refrigerator section of the grocery store near the bacon or packaged in a tray located in the meat department. You can even make your own Italian sausage at home!

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN MY RAVIOLI LASAGNA IN THE CROCKPOT IS DONE?

Slow cookers come in a variety of brands, sizes, and shapes. Depending on your cooker, your ravioli lasagna may need more or less time to cook than stated in the recipe. You should check your casserole for doneness starting at around 3 hours and continue cooking until your ravioli is cooked through, but not complete mush.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH RAVIOLI LASAGNA

Serve ravioli lasagna with a side salad and some garlic bread and you will have a lovely, well-rounded, easy to make dinner any night of the week.
