Instant Pot Million Dollar Ravioli Casserole
We scraped the pan clean on this one! The ravioli are coated in cream cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, parmesan cheese and then topped with a meat sauce and mozzarella cheese. Seriously yummy! Reminds me of lasagna…but I actually like it better. You can make this casserole in your Instant Pot (pot-in-pot method), slow cooker or the oven. Each way works great!
Ingredients/Substitution Ideas
- Italian sausage–I used mild, ground Italian sausage
- Spaghetti sauce–I used a jar of Ragu
- Cottage cheese–or ricotta cheese
- Cream cheese–or Neufchatel cheese
- Sour cream–or plain yogurt
- Dried parsley–or fresh chopped parsley
- Garlic powder
- Parmesan cheese–shredded or grated
- Frozen cheese ravioli–or frozen tortellini
- Mozzarella cheese
Steps
- Meat sauce: Stir together the sausage and spaghetti sauce.
- Ravioli and creamy sauce: Stir together the cottage cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, parsley, garlic powder, parmesan cheese until creamy and smooth. Fold in the ravioli.
- Layer ingredients: Layer the ravioli, meat sauce and mozzarella.
- Cook: Pressure cook, slow cook or bake.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes/Tips
- I used my 6 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in your 8 quart Instant Pot.
- You can easily halve this recipe. Halve all the ingredients and keep the cooking time the same. (Keep the same amount of water below the trivet for the Instant Pot recipe.)
- If you’re making the full recipe in the Instant Pot you’ll need a deep pot-in-pot dish. I like to use a 3 quart Instant Pot liner* inside of a 6 quart Instant Pot liner. If you halve the recipe you can use a 7×3 inch Fat Daddios pan*.

What deep pot in pot do you use?
I have a fat daddios 7×4 inch pan or I use a 3 quart IP liner inside by 6 quart IP liner
This looks so good!!!! Thanks for always putting the oven and slow cooker instructions in too. I love my slow cooker.
You’re welcome Sandy!
I only have tortellini & it’s refrigerated, not frozen. Will that work? If so, how much cook time? Tnx
I am not 100% sure on this…did you try it and how did it go?
It was so yummy! I would’ve thought cooking less time using refrigerated instead of frozen too, so I cooked it for 20 min. Not quite done. So, just put the foil back on & cooked it another 10 min. PERFECT! So, your cook time of 30 min works for either refrigerated tortellini or frozen ravioli. Taste was spot on, as per your usual. Thanks!!!
