Are you ready to capture the classic, creamy taste of tortellini – with no fuss? I’ll let you on a little secret of cooking: Sometimes you don’t have to work as hard as you think you do. In this case, a crockpot will do the work for you. All you need to do is prep the ingredients, toss them in, and let the crockpot work its magic as usual.
Still not convinced? Why don’t you try it out, and see how effortless and simple it is!
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 lb. Italian Sausage
- 20 oz. Frozen Three-Cheese Tortellini
- 32 oz. Low Sodium Chicken Broth
- 2 Cans Diced Tomatoes – The kind that are seasoned with basil, garlic & oregano. If you don’t have the seasoned ones, you’ll need to add in your own seasonings.
- 8 oz. Cream Cheese or Neufchâtel Cheese
- Grated Parmesan Cheese
DIRECTIONS:
First, you’ll want to brown your meat. While you’re doing this, take your cream cheese out of your fridge and let it sit in room temperature.
Add the sausage, tortellini, tomatoes (juice and all), and cream cheese (in chunks) into the crockpot. Stir all these around to make sure your mixture has an even texture to it. Cook on low for 4 hours. You’ll want to stir every 1.5 hours to thicken the sauce a little.
Don’t forget to top your pasta with some cheese at the end!
