- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 (15-ounce) container of ricotta cheese

Optional Substitutions:

- Dairy-free Alfredo sauce and cheese substitutes work great for lactose-intolerant diners.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker
- Start by lightly greasing the inside of your slow cooker.
- Spread a small amount of Alfredo sauce on the bottom to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Layering the Ravioli
- Place half of the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.
Step 3: Add the Chicken and Alfredo Mix
- Combine the shredded chicken with half of the remaining Alfredo sauce and spread over the ravioli.
Step 4: Layer the Cheeses
- Spoon half of the ricotta cheese in dollops over the chicken layer, then sprinkle with half of the mozzarella and half of the Parmesan cheese.
- Sprinkle a little Italian seasoning over the cheese.
Step 5: Repeat the Layers
- Repeat the layers, starting with the rest of the ravioli, the chicken and Alfredo mix, ricotta, and ending with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
Step 6: Slow Cook to Perfection
- Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Step 7: Serve and Garnish
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.

- Preventing Stickiness: Always spread a thin layer of sauce at the bottom to prevent the ravioli from sticking.
- Even Layering: Arrange the ravioli and other ingredients evenly to ensure the best texture and cooking result.
- Cooking Time Adjustment: If you prefer a firmer texture, reduce the cooking time by 30 minutes.
