For the Tortellini
  • 1 package (20 oz) refrigerated tortellini (any flavor of your choice)
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (optional) Can add for extra nutrition.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • to taste tsp Salt and pepper Adjust according to preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Lightly grease your slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Pour the marinara sauce into the bottom of the crockpot, spreading it evenly.
  3. Toss in the tortellini, ensuring they are well-coated with the sauce.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and some salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over the tortellini layer.
  5. If using, fold in the fresh spinach gently.
  6. Top with the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
Cooking
  1. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4–6 hours or high for 2–3 hours until the tortellini is tender.
  2. Give everything a gentle stir before serving.

Notes

Mix and match cheeses or use light cream for a healthier option. Avoid overcooking the tortellini by checking for doneness early. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for 2 months. Reheat by thawing and warming with a splash of milk or cream if needed.
