Simmer one minute. Serve.     OR     To make this in the crockpot--I threw ALL the ingredients except the milk and ravioli directly into the crockpot. I did not bother to saute anything ahead of time. I was cooking it in a Dazey crockpot, and had it on a fairly low temperature setting for about 3 hours. When you're about ready to serve it, stir in the milk and add the ravioli, and voila you have pumpkin soup. I also made a mistake once and forgot to add the milk. So instead of soup we had a lovely, thick pumpkin sauce on pasta, which we liked better than soup and so we will make it this way from now on! Also, I often make tons more ravioli than the recipe calls for. I have also used tortellini.
