Ohhh Tuesdays.... so long, especially with the cold weather, not feeling great, and minimal clients. I was well rested after taking the Nyquil and falling asleep by 8pm, but felt like nothing got accomplished!! Since it was my long day I decided to use the crock-pot and Chris's help. I lovvvvvveeee pasta especially cheese filled pasta, manacotti, ravioli, stuffed shells, and tonight tortellini!! I made this recipe once before and fell in love. It is almost like a soup, but you can thicken it up if you want (ill note below).
Tortellini Yum Yum
1 bag frozen cheese tortellini
2 cans Italian styled diced tomatos
1 small bag fresh spinach
1 package cream cheese
4 c vegetable stock ** you can use less for a thicker sauce or add some flour, or cornstarch/water to thicken a bit. I added alil cornstarch water.
You throw it all in the crock-pot and cook for 5 hours on low ***HOWEVER I felt that it was toooo long and I was gonna be gone more than 5 hours. So I put everything but the tortellini in this morning and put it on keep warm. I had chris add the tortellini when he got home. It was only in 1-1/2hours on low with the tortellini. If you leave the tortellini in too long it gets mushy!! So adjust time accordingly!! Very yummy and makes lots! Enjoy!
I will be making this tomorrow. Chris actually ate this with the tomatoes in it. Wait, he picked out the tomatoes right? The photo in the bowl with the breadsticks looks great.
