    • This slow cooker recipe will become your go-to recipe for busy weeknights and will quickly become a family favorite. 

    Recipe Ingredients

    Ingredients for slow cooker ravioli lined up on a white counter.

    Frozen ravioli – Grab a bag of cheesy ravioli from the frozen aisle. No need to thaw first, just pop it right into your slow cooker when you’re ready to start cooking! I always use cheese ravioli for this recipe, but a meaty variety would be great, too! 

    Spaghetti sauce – Use your favorite brand of pasta sauce from the grocery store, or make your own easy homemade spaghetti sauce. Marinara sauce can be used, as well!

    Diced tomatoes – Diced tomatoes, tomato sauce or water can be used.

    Parmesan cheese – Grated or shaved.

    Italian seasoning – The only seasoning you’ll need!

    Mozzarella cheese – Or another melty variety, such as provolone or cheddar.

    How To Make Crockpot Ravioli

    Step 1

    Add the following ingredients to a crockpot after a light spray with non-stick cooking spray:

    • Frozen ravioli 
    • Jar of spaghetti sauce 
    • Diced tomatoes 
    • Parmesan cheese 
    • Italian seasoning

    Give the mixture a stir.

    Step 2

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

    Serve warm and sprinkle with a little bit of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top just before serving.

    Recipe Notes

    • Add fresh spinach, red bell peppers, mushrooms or diced red onions to the mix for extra flavor!
    • Although this is a meatless dish, consider turning the sauce into a meat sauce by adding a pound of cooked ground turkey sausage, ground beef or Italian sausage to the crock pot. 
    • To enjoy a little spicier version, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes.   

    Can You Cook Ravioli From Frozen

    Ravioli can be cooked from frozen! Transfer frozen ravioli directly from the freezer into boiling water and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until pasta is soft and chewy. Or follow the directions in the recipe card to cook using a slow cooker.

    How To Store Cooked Pasta

    Let the pasta cool, then transfer to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days for best results.

    What To Serve With Ravioli

    Ravioli is such a delicious, comforting meal to put on the dinner table. If it is on the menu for the day, read on for some delicious ideas about what to serve with ravioli, such as a simple side salad, caesar salad or garlic bread. 

    How To Freeze Pasta With Sauce

    To freeze cooked pasta with sauce, transfer the mixture to a Ziploc bag or airtight container. Freeze for up to 6 months for best results.

    Recipes To Make Using Pasta Sauce

        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!
