    Nothing says “hug me” like a bowl of beef and cheese ravioli lasagna when the weather turns cooler and the leaves begin to change color. The classic tastes of lasagna are infused with a pleasant twist in this slow cooker variation, which has beef-stuffed ravioli and layers of fresh spinach. This recipe is perfect for weeknights when you’re short on time but yet want a home-cooked meal since the flavors are intensified by slow cooking.

    A fresh Caesar salad and warm garlic breadsticks are the perfect accompaniments to this beef and cheese ravioli lasagna with spinach that you can make in a slow cooker.

    Toss in the ground beef, season with pepper and salt, and brown it in a pan. Get rid of any extra fat.

    The ezoic
    Before setting aside, combine the meat mixture with half of the marinara sauce.

    Before using a slow cooker, coat the inside with nonstick cooking spray.

    Place a little amount of the leftover marinara sauce onto the base of the slow cooker.

    The ezoic
    Arrange the beef ravioli in a single layer over the sauce. Then, add another layer of meat and sauce. Top it off with fresh spinach. Finally, garnish with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.

    Continue stacking the ingredients until you’ve used them all, and then top it off with cheese.

    To make the ravioli soft and the cheese bubbling, cover and simmer on low for four to six hours.

    Before serving, garnish with dried Italian herbs and, if desired, red pepper flakes.

    Changes and Hints

    You may make it leaner by using ground chicken or turkey instead of beef. Remove the hot pepper flakes and replace the spinach with a mild vegetable, such as zucchini, to make it more suitable for children. If you’re in the mood for something a little more daring, you may add a layer of sautéed garlic mushrooms for depth of flavor or toss in some ricotta cheese for added richness.
