4 Ingredient Crockpot Ravioli
All it takes is four ingredients to make a hearty family dinner that satisfies even the hungriest eaters!
RAVIOLI
Since this has a meat sauce I like cheese or veggie-filled ravioli (although meat-filled works too). No need to pre-cook the ravioli.
SAUSAGE
Italian sausage gives the sauce lots of flavor as its heavily seasoned (use hot or mild). Swap out the ground sausage for ground chicken or beef (but add extra spices, a couple of teaspoons of Italian seasoning should do).
TOMATO SAUCE
Feel free to use a jarred or homemade marinara sauce, or two large cans of crushed tomatoes will do, just add some extra seasonings. If you have a little bit extra or you’re a little bit short this recipe still works just fine.
You could also use leftover meat sauce from last night’s spaghetti too!
CHEESE
Mozzarella is the best cheese for this recipe!
We love Italian food and nothing is better than pasta in a great tomato sauce (topped with cheese of course).
