Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 10 oz frozen cheese ravioli
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 1 cup shredded plant-based mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup plant-based heavy cream
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (natural)
  • 1/2 tsp paprika

Instructions

  1. Prep the Bacon and Aromatics: Cook the smoked turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove and chop into bite-sized pieces. In the same pan, quickly sauté the diced onions and minced garlic until they become soft and fragrant to build the flavor base.
  2. Layer Ingredients in the Crockpot: Place the frozen cheese ravioli in the slow cooker. Add the sautéed onions and garlic along with the cooked bacon pieces. Pour in the vegetable broth, plant-based heavy cream, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), Italian seasoning (natural), and paprika. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
  3. Cook Low and Slow: Set your crockpot to low and cook for 3 to 4 hours, or until the ravioli is tender and the sauce has thickened nicely. About 20 minutes before the end of cooking, stir in the fresh spinach and shredded plant-based mozzarella cheese, allowing them to melt perfectly into the creamy sauce.
  4. Final Stir and Serve: Give the dish a final gentle stir to evenly incorporate the melted cheese and spinach. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm and enjoy the rich, comforting flavors of this Crockpot Million Dollar Ravioli.

Notes

  • Use frozen ravioli to prevent mushiness during slow cooking.
  • Do not overfill the slow cooker to ensure even cooking of all ingredients.
  • Add fresh spinach in the final 20 minutes to retain its vibrant color and fresh taste.
  • Avoid frequent stirring to keep ravioli intact and maintain creamy sauce texture.
  • Taste near the end and adjust seasoning with salt or additional vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) if desired.
