Slow Cooker Inside-Out Ravioli

Method

Step by step

1. 01

   Brown the ground beef, onion, and garlic. Drain to remove grease, and add to a 3.5 quart or larger slow cooker.

2. 02

   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. 03

   Stir well.

4. 04

   Cover and Crock on LOW 4-5 hours.

5. 05

   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. 06

   Upon serving, sprinkle with remaining mozzarella.
