Description

Cheese-stuffed tortellini in a creamy cheese sauce with a touch of spinach and tomatoes. Make it in the crockpot or on the stove top!

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup Spinach, Cut Into Pieces
  • 2 cans Italian Diced Tomatoes (14.5 Oz. Each)
  • 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 bag Frozen Cheese-filled Tortellini (19 Oz. Bag)
  • ½ cups Grated Parmesan Cheese

Preparation

In a deep saucepan (or in your crockpot), add all ingredients except for tortellini and Parmesan cheese and put the lid on. Cook on the stove on medium-low heat (or on high if using crockpot). Sauce will be thin at first but will thicken as it cooks. Cook for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Then mix in tortellini. Continue to cook, this time uncovered, until pasta is al dente, about 45 minutes. Spoon out onto serving plates and top with Parmesan cheese. Delicious!

Optional: You can also add pre-cooked ground sausage or turkey into the mix. Simply brown the meat first then add it into the sauce mixture at the beginning of the cooking process.

I just saw this recipe today and decided to go right out to buy the ingredients, It was really good. It’s rare that I just make a recipe as is – I always tweak it. But I followed the recipe exactly for once. Very easy, Very good. I think it would also be good using salsa instead of the diced tomatoes.

I did make the whole thing on the stove and it worked well. My crockpot is getting old, so I knew if the recipe said 2 hours it would take at least 3, and I didn’t have the time. Just keep the temperature low on the stove so the cheese doesn’t stick to the pan.
