Slow cooker 3-ingredient cheesy ravioli is a beautiful, quick-to-prepare dish that brings comfort and joy to any family meal. It's perfect for those busy weeknights or cozy weekends when you're looking for something delicious with minimal fuss. The creamy, cheesy pasta is a heartwarming dish that both kids and adults adore. If you're looking for a crowd-pleaser that doesn't require much hands-on time, this recipe is for you!

This cheesy ravioli pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad tossed with a light vinaigrette. You could also add a side of garlic bread for a bit of crunch and to soak up any extra sauce. To round things out, consider serving some roasted or steamed vegetables, such as broccoli or green beans, for added texture and nutrition.

Servings: 4-6 servings

1 (25-ounce) bag frozen cheese ravioli
1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1. Spray the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

2. Spread 1 cup of the marinara sauce on the bottom of the slow cooker.

3. Arrange half of the frozen ravioli over the sauce in an even layer.

4. Pour half of the remaining marinara sauce over the ravioli.

5. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

6. Repeat the layers with the remaining ravioli, marinara sauce, and mozzarella cheese.

7. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. Serve hot and enjoy!

For a bit of added protein, try layering some cooked Italian sausage or ground beef between the ravioli layers. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can add a half-cup of ricotta cheese or a dollop of cream cheese into the mix. For a touch of green, consider adding a handful of fresh spinach or some chopped basil. Picky eaters can enjoy just the ravioli with cheese, and for those who love extra flavor, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or a drizzle of flavored olive oil on top works wonders.
