This recipe is for my kids when it’s after lunchtime, and I haven’t thought ahead to dinner with enough time to thaw or make anything else. This is SUCH an easy recipe, especially if you keep a few of the Trader Joe’s Tortellini packages in your pantry. The only thing I don’t like about their tortellini is that they use enriched flour.
Ingredients
- 10-16 ounce package of Trader Joe's Tortellini
- 24-26 ounce of your favorite all natural pasta sauce
- your favorite cheese to top
- 1 lb. chicken/beef optional
Instructions
- Place all of your ingredients in the crock-pot except the cheese.
- Cook on high for 2 hours, checking after 1.5 hours. I am only guessing you could cook this for about 3-4 hours on low, but check it after 2.5 hours. Sometimes it cooks fast.
- Cook until the tortellini is soft and thoroughly heated.
- Top with cheese and enjoy!
