Equipment

6-quart slow cooker
measuring cups
measuring spoons
cutting board
chef's knife
mixing bowls
large serving spoon

Ingredients

32 oz frozen cheese ravioli
24 oz marinara sauce
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
4 leaves fresh basil (optional)

Instructions

Mince the garlic and measure all ingredients into separate bowls.
Coat the inside of the slow cooker with olive oil.
Spread half of the marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of the slow cooker.
Arrange the frozen ravioli over the sauce in an even layer.
Sprinkle garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper evenly over the ravioli.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the ravioli.
Drizzle the heavy cream evenly across the surface.
Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top.
Cover and cook on low heat for 2 to 2½ hours.
Test a ravioli piece to ensure it is tender and fully cooked.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top and cover for 5 minutes.
Turn off the slow cooker and let the ravioli rest for 5 minutes.
Tear fresh basil over the surface if using.
Spoon into serving bowls and serve warm.

Notes

Use frozen ravioli directly from the freezer for the best texture. Do not cook on high heat, as the ravioli may split and the cheese can separate. Add the final layer of mozzarella during the last 5 minutes for a perfectly melted topping. Let the dish rest before serving so the sauce can thicken properly.
