Can I double this recipe for a crowd?

Yes, but make sure your slow cooker is big enough. I once tried it in a smaller pot and let us just say dinner was delayed while I resorted to a backup pan.

Will frozen ravioli turn mushy?

If you follow the 4-5 hour low cook time, the ravioli keeps a good texture. Overcooking on high can make them softer than you want. Slow and steady wins the texture race.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely. Assemble in the cooker insert, refrigerate overnight, and cook the next day. Let the insert come to room temperature a bit before turning on the heat for safety and even cooking.

What should I serve with it?

A crisp salad, steamed green beans, or roasted carrots pair well. A warm loaf of bread makes people happy. For picky eaters, offer simple sides like carrot sticks or apple slices.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

That depends on your ravioli and pasta sauce. If you find gluten-free ravioli and a gluten-free pasta sauce, this can be gluten-free. Always check labels if you cook for someone with a sensitivity.
