Slow Cooker Ravioli Lasagna

Ingredients:

• 1 package (25 oz) frozen cheese ravioli (or fresh, if preferred)

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cheese Mixture:
   • In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. Layer the Ingredients:
   • In the bottom of the slow cooker, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce.
   • Add a layer of frozen ravioli on top of the sauce.
   • Spoon half of the ricotta mixture over the ravioli, followed by a layer of mozzarella cheese.
   • Repeat the layers: marinara sauce, ravioli, ricotta mixture, and mozzarella cheese.
   • Finish with a final layer of marinara sauce and top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
3. Cook:
   • Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours, until the ravioli is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
4. Serve:
   • Once done, let it sit for about 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.

Tips:

• Variations: Feel free to add sautéed vegetables (like spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini) between the layers for added nutrition.
