Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • Fresh or frozen cheese or spinach-filled ravioli (about 18 ounces)
  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon, diced
  • 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
  • 2 cups marinara sauce (natural)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base Layer: Spray your crockpot lightly with oil to prevent sticking. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce (natural) evenly on the bottom of the crockpot to create a saucy foundation for the ravioli.
  2. Layer the Ingredients: Arrange half of the ravioli evenly on top of the marinara sauce. Sprinkle the diced smoked turkey bacon over the ravioli, followed by a generous amount of plant-based cheese. Repeat the layering with the remaining ravioli, turkey bacon, and end with a thick layer of plant-based cheese on top to seal in the flavors.
  3. Mix the Creamy Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the plant-based heavy cream, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning (natural), and natural gelling agent until well combined. Pour this creamy sauce evenly over the layered ingredients in the crockpot.
  4. Slow Cook to Perfection: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 3 to 4 hours. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain temperature and allow the ravioli to cook thoroughly while the sauce thickens to a velvety consistency.
  5. Finishing Touches: Once cooking is complete, give the dish a gentle stir to combine all layers. Garnish with fresh herbs such as chopped parsley or basil if desired before serving to enhance flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Choose fresh or frozen ravioli; adjust cooking time accordingly if using fresh ravioli.
  • Do not overfill the crockpot to allow proper heat circulation for even cooking.
  • Use a natural gelling agent to perfectly thicken the sauce without heaviness.
  • Layer ingredients thoughtfully to maximize flavor in every bite.
  • Allow the dish to rest for 10 minutes after cooking for better texture and easier portioning.
