Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 4 cups frozen cheese ravioli (plant-based)
  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent

Creamy Sauce

  • 4 oz plant-based cream cheese

Herbs and Seasoning

  • 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Chop the onion, garlic, and smoked turkey bacon into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and enhanced flavor. Keep the frozen ravioli ready to use straight from the freezer.
  2. Combine Base Ingredients: In the crockpot, place diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and natural gelling agent. Stir well to blend evenly.
  3. Layer Main Components: Add the chopped smoked turkey bacon, onion, garlic, and frozen ravioli on top of the liquid mixture to help the ravioli cook evenly without sticking to the bottom.
  4. Add the Creamy Touch: Dollop plant-based cream cheese over the top. It will slowly melt into the sauce during cooking, creating a creamy, millionaire texture.
  5. Set and Forget: Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours until ravioli is tender and the sauce has thickened beautifully.
  6. Finish with Fresh Herbs and Seasoning: Stir in chopped fresh basil and oregano, then taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed before serving.

Notes

  • Use frozen ravioli straight from the freezer to prevent mushiness.
  • Layer ravioli on top to maintain texture and prevent sticking.
  • Cook on low to allow flavors to meld and avoid overcooking.
  • Add fresh herbs at the end to retain their brightness and aroma.
  • If sauce thickens too much, add a splash of vegetable broth to loosen.
