Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Italian sausage browned
  • 20 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 24 oz marinara sauce
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Method
 

  1. Brown the Italian sausage in a skillet, then add it to the crockpot with the marinara, broth, and garlic.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours to let the flavors meld.
  3. Stir in the tortellini, cover, and cook 30 more minutes until tender.
  4. Add the spinach, cream, and Parmesan, stirring until the spinach wilts.
  5. Serve hot with extra Parmesan on top.

Notes

Add the tortellini near the end so it doesn't turn mushy.
