Slow Cooker Inside-Out Ravioli

  • Cooking Time:

    6-7 hours
  • Servings:

    8

Ingredients

1 lb. lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 24 oz. jar of pasta sauce, any variety
14.5 oz. Italian-style stewed tomatoes
2 tsp. Italian Seasoning
1 c. fresh spinach or 10 oz. pkg. frozen
16 oz. Fusilli or corkscrew pasta, cooked al dente
4 oz. Parmesan cheese, grated
1.5 c. mozzarella, shredded

Slow Cooker Inside-Out Ravioli takes a new spin in this delicious and hearty Italian dinner. Leftovers should be abundant and taste even better the next day!

  1. Brown the ground beef, onion, and garlic. Drain to remove grease, and add to a 3.5 quart or larger slow cooker.
  2. Next, add jar of pasta sauce, stewed tomatoes, and Italian Seasoning. (optional: Add a tablespoon of sugar if the store-bought pasta sauce is tart.)
  3. Stir well.
  4. Cover and Crock on LOW 4-5 hours.
  5. Add 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, spinach, Parmesan, and al-dente cooked pasta about 15 minutes before serving. Stir well to distribute sauce evenly. *NOTE: Remove from heat once cooking is complete, otherwise pasta could overcook and become mushy. (I learned that the hard way!)
  6. Upon serving, sprinkle with remaining mozzarella.

Happy Crocking!

A Tbsp of sugar is too much. Red wine can be used to substitute the sugar…I would also use more fresh baby spinach, since you said 10 oz box of frozen spinach. Making a recipe versatile is an excellent option (Sausage, instead of beef) I will use your basic suggestion, along with my experience and skill to make this dish even better. Thanks for all your tips.

Could you add the beef and noodles in uncooked and then cook on low for 8 hours? You would probably need to
Add beef broth or water?

I have a newer crock pot and noticed that my low cooks more like a high. Should I cut my cooking time in half?

I use a 10 cup Rice Cooker instead of a Crock Pot. I cook enough for 2 meals, eat 1/2, refrigerate other 1/2 after it has cooked. I rewarm in Rice Cooker as well, one pot cooking & easy clean up. I put the ground beef or chicken into either Beef or Chicken Broth to cook first, then add rest of ingredients & cook until it clicks into the keep warm setting. When cooking Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts from frozen I cook until I can cut up into about 1″ pieces, then put everything into the Rice Cooker. I use… Read more »

[…] Inside-Out Ravioli – this one is made in the slow cooker and tastes absolutely delicious. I was calling it “inside-out lasagna” until I re-read the recipe – whoops! Well, whatever it is, it’s fabulous and you should try it. […]

Hi there! Looking forward to trying this tomorrow night! Quick question…..do you add the spinach frozen or thaw it first? Thanks!

When you do put in the frozen spinach? Do you thaw it, squeeze it dry What do you do with it?

This is a frustrating recipe. Very little of it is actually done in the crockpot. I took a quick look at it and thought “great, it cooks itself!” Nope. The beef and pasta have to be cooked separately. I’ll make sure to always read recipes on this site closely, now – what I thought would be hassle free is now a headache – more dishes, more time, etc.

This is my 2nd time making this dish. The first time, I tripled the recipe and added crushed tomatoes and tomato paste along with my favorite spaghetti sauce. I also used more cheese. The entire group went wild over it. As there were picky children, I did not add the spinach.
This time, it’s just my family and the size looks so much smaller! My family asked for it again! Thanks for the great recipe. Oh and rotini is the pasta of choice.
