I love pasta – especially easy recipes! This is one of those easy recipes and you can adjust seasonings to your preference to create a semi-homemade red sauce with your favorite ravioli or tortellini.
- Place onion and garlic in bottom of 4-6 quart slow cooker.
- Add spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce and seasonings. Stir well.
- Cover. Cook on Low for 7-8 hours until onion is tender.
- Turn heat to High and stir in refrigerated ravioli.
- Cover. Cook on High for 1 hour longer; then sprinkle with cheese and cook for 5-10 minutes until cheese melts and pasta is tender.

If I wanted to use boxed tortellini, would I need to increase the amount of sauce?
Hi Rosa, I would think you would as the noodles would be going in dry and need extra juice, but I have always used the frozen, and never had a problem! Thanks for the question, and Happy Crocking!
I’m wondering if I could use the frozen ravioli instead. Probably just put them in frozen along with the sauce at the beginning and cook the full time like the sauce?
Thoughts?
Hi Christine! The last time I made this I used the frozen tortellini, and I served it to guests and they loved it! Let us know how it turned out…. and Happy Crocking!
Would I have to do anything different if I put in a lb. of ground meat?
You’ll probably want to brown it in a skillet and drain off fat first. Then add to cooker.
