Tips for Best Results

Choose a high-quality marinara sauce to ensure the best flavor, you can also make your own homemade marinara as well.
Feel free to choose a different type of frozen ravioli, spinach and cheese or meat and cheese filled both work just as well! Just make sure it has some cheese inside so that you get that ricotta-like flavor.
Use at least a 6-quart slow cooker for this recipe, it makes a big batch!

Serving suggestions

Serve this with a homemade Caesar salad or other side salad and a side of cheesy breadsticks or easy garlic knots to complete your meal.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave, adding a little extra marinara if it is looking dry.
