Crockpot Ravioli with Butternut Squash for One
Ingredients
- ¼ lb Italian Sausage Mushrooms can be substituted here for a meat free dish

- ¼ c Vegetable Broth
- 1/8 t Sage
- 1/6 t Black Pepper
- 1/8 t Salt
- 1 Or 2 T Butter this will depend on you. If you like more butter lean towards using 2 T if not, I used 1.5 T in creating this dish
- 1 T Walnuts
- Grated Parmesan Cheese to Finish our Dish
Instructions
- Layer all your ingredients, except the Parmesan Cheese in the crockpot and cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 4 hours. If you are cooking this on high, check at the 1 and a half hour mark it may get done early depending on your crockpot model.
- Top with parmesan cheese and serve.
- Enjoy!
