Cheesy Tortellini

Ingredients 1 bag(s) tortellini

2 can(s) italian style diced tomatoes (i used roasted garlic & basil)

4 c vegetable broth

1 pkg cream cheese

1 bag(s) fresh spinach

Put all ingredients into crock pot, chunking up the cream cheese, and cook on low for 5 hours.

I used the meat tortellini, added a side salad with crusty Italian bread and it was a hit.

The next time I make it I'm going to try cheese tortellini and maybe add some chicken.

This recipe was shared with me on facebook, thought I would try it and it was a hit !!!

I copied the above from this website: http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/pasta/tortellini-crock-pot-meal.html

I am actually doing this on the stovetop instead. To do this, I halved the amount of broth and tomatoes. I also added basil, garlic, and onions.

I put all of these in the pot and brought it to a boil, then simmered for about an hour.

Then I added spinach (I used frozen), tortellini and simmered for about 10 minutes.

Lastly, I cut the cream cheese into chunks and stirred that in.

I'm going to garnish each bowl with a bit of chopped fresh basil, too. Just to look fancy and because I grew so much beautiful purple basil this year!
