How To Make Crockpot Ravioli

Step 1
Place the following ingredients into a crockpot:
- 25-oz. bag frozen ravioli

Step 2
Cover and cook on low heat for 3 hours. Gently stir twice throughout cooking.

Recipe Notes
- Add fresh spinach, mushrooms or diced red onions to the mix for extra flavor!
- To enjoy a little spicier version, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
- For a meaty dish, add cooked ground turkey sausage or ground beef to the pot before cooking.
- Try my Instant Pot Spaghetti Sauce recipe instead of the jarred tomato sauce. It’s so delicious!

Can you pressure cook this recipe?
Great question Kaitlin! I haven’t tested this myself so if you try, let me know. If I were to try, I’d add all the ingredients to the pot and set it to 2 minutes if you like a firmer ravioli. 3 minutes if you prefer a smaller one. However, the size of your ravioli will impact this cook time as well so if you’re using small tortellini sized, I’d reduce it down to one minute. I hope this helps!
