Ingredients
Scale
1 package (9 oz) of Crockpot cheese tortellini
1 lb of Sausage (Italian or turkey)
1 can (28 oz) of Crushed tomatoes
2 cups of Chicken broth
1 cup of Heavy cream
4 Garlic cloves, minced
2 cups of Spinach (fresh or frozen)
1 cup, grated of Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Start by browning the sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until nicely browned, breaking it up into bite-sized pieces as it cooks. This adds an incredible depth of flavor to your dish. Once browned, drain any excess fat and set aside.
In your slow cooker, combine the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Stir well to incorporate the ingredients, creating a base that’s bursting with flavor.
Carefully mix the browned sausage into the slow cooker. This step allows all those delicious flavors to meld beautifully as they cook together.
Cover the crockpot and set it to low for 4 hours or high for 2. Resist the urge to open the lid during cooking – keeping the steam trapped inside enhances the flavors!
About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the cheese tortellini and spinach, then cover again and continue cooking. The tortellini will become tender and perfectly coated in the flavorful sauce.
Once the cooking time is complete, stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. This final touch adds a rich creaminess that takes the dish to superstar status. Allow it to sit for a few minutes before serving.
