How to Make Slow Cooker Ravioli Lasagna
Start by lightly greasing your slow cooker.
Spread a small amount of Alfredo sauce on the bottom to prevent sticking.

Drizzle some pesto and Alfredo sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with sauce and cheese on top.
Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or on high for 2–3 hours, until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once done, allow the dish to rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
