Leftovers/storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Since this is a pasta dish, it will thicken as it sits, so when reheating just add a little sauce or water and give it a stir to bring it back to the right consistency. It reheats really well and is just as good the next day.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to cook the ravioli first?
No, you can add it straight into the slow cooker and it will cook perfectly in the sauce. It soaks up all the flavor as it cooks, which makes it even better.
Can I use frozen ravioli?
Yes, frozen ravioli works great for this recipe and makes it even easier. You can add it directly without thawing and it will cook the same.
Can I leave out the ground beef?
Yes, you can make this without meat and it will still be really good. It turns into more of a cheesy baked pasta dish and still has plenty of flavor.
