Lightly grease the slow cooker with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the Alfredo sauce and pesto.
Spread a small amount of the Alfredo-pesto sauce at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Layer half of the frozen cheese ravioli over the sauce.
In another bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the remaining Alfredo-pesto sauce.
Spread half of the chicken mixture over the ravioli.
Add dollops of ricotta cheese over the chicken mixture.
Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, and a bit of Italian seasoning.
Repeat the layers with the remaining ravioli, chicken mixture, ricotta, and cheeses.
Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is bubbly.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
Variations & Tips
For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and add sautéed mushrooms or spinach for an earthy flavor. If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. For a more robust flavor, use a smoked mozzarella or add a layer of sun-dried tomatoes. Experiment with different types of pesto, such as sun-dried tomato pesto or arugula pesto, to give the dish a unique twist.
