Spray the inside of your crockpot with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour 1 cup of marinara sauce into the bottom of the crockpot and spread it evenly.
Layer half of the frozen ravioli over the sauce in a single layer.
Top the ravioli with half of the frozen meatballs, distributing them evenly.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of dried basil, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper over the meatballs.
Pour 2 cups of marinara sauce over the meatballs and sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Repeat the layers with the remaining ravioli, meatballs, spices, marinara sauce, and mozzarella cheese.
Add 1 cup of water around the edges of the crockpot to ensure there is enough liquid for cooking.
Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the meatballs are heated through and the ravioli is tender.
When cooking is complete, sprinkle 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the top and allow it to melt for 5 minutes.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy!
