This Slow Cooker Ravioli Bake is the easiest ever recipe to throw in Mrs. Potts, and yesterday as I was racing out the door to pick up my girls for gymnastics, I knew it would hit the spot! I literally dumped everything in as I headed out the door, and came home four hours later to dinner all cooked up for me. (Have I mentioned lately I love my slow cooker?) We ate it with a side salad and some garlic bread, and dinner was done with less than ten minutes of effort. That's less time then it takes to get through the drive-thru window ~ success!
If you're like me and grabbed some of those BOGO ravioli in the current ad at Publix (it ends tonight in some areas, but some of you lucky ducks can still pick them up tomorrow!), this is a great simple meal to add to your menu plan this week. I'd love to hear if you like it, and if you have any other tips on cooking pasta in the crockpot, please leave a comment to share. (By the way, I added a little of the DiGiorno Parmesan Cheese that you'll find in your deli area on top. It's BOGO in the upcoming ad at Publix, and tastes so much better than the Grated Parmesan.)
Ingredients
- 1 package frozen Ravioli (we used cheese cheese)
- 1 26 oz jar pasta sauce
- 1 8 oz can tomato paste
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp Italian Seasoning
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Pour half the pasta sauce on the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Add ravioli,.
- Put additional pasta sauce in slow cooker. Then mix together tomato sauce and water in empty pasta jar, give it a shake and dump over the ravioli.
- Sprinkle Italian seasoning on top of sauces.
- Add cheese.
- Cook on low 4 -5 hours (watch it towards the end to make sure it doesn't burn on the edges.)
- Enjoy!

Can’t wait to try this!!!! Thanks for posting these wonderful recipes!
Laurie, What size crock pot do you use for your recipes? We have a pretty large family so mine is a 6 quart. I know ingredients and cooking times have to be adjusted for larger crock pots. Thanks!!
Hi Kelli! Mine is a 5 qt crockpot, and it cooks VERY fast (I usually put a longer time on recipes than I use on mine because it’s not normal!) Because I’m usually home, I check mine and when it’s ready just turn it to it’s “warm” setting. Hope that helps ~ I kind of miss my old fashioned crockpot that cooked a bit slower! 🙂
Hi Laurie
I have never used a crockpot but I would love to try it with your recipies! There are so many out there, which one would you recommend for a family of three? Thank you!
Hi Laurie –
Do you use 8 oz. tomato paste or tomato sauce? This sounds yummy and I want to get this right. Thanks!
