WANT TO SAVE THIS RECIPE?

Craving a hearty, ooey-gooey lasagna but don’t have the time or energy for all that layering and baking? This slow cooker ravioli lasagna is the shortcut weeknight dinner of your dreams. By using frozen ravioli instead of lasagna noodles, you skip the boiling and get straight to the good stuff.

I love this recipe because it delivers all the cheesy, saucy flavor of classic lasagna with just a fraction of the work. No need for ricotta or cottage cheese either – the filling in the ravioli provides plenty of that signature creamy texture. The result is a super simple yet totally satisfying lasagna casserole the whole family will request again and again.

One of the keys with slow cooker pasta dishes is using frozen rather than dried pasta. Dried lasagna noodles never soften properly and end up chalky and weird, but frozen ravioli cooks up perfectly moist and tender. I like to use a five cheese or spinach and ricotta variety for maximum cheesy impact.
