Description
A creamy, comforting tortellini dinner you can set and forget — perfect for weeknights when you want something cozy and filling with zero fuss.
Ingredients
- 2 × 300 g (10 oz) packs fresh tortellini (four-cheese or your favorite flavor)
- 2 × 500 g (17 oz) jars tomato pasta sauce
- 240 g (2 cups) grated cheddar & mozzarella blend
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp dried basil, plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Spray your slow cooker lightly with oil. Pour in half of one jar of tomato pasta sauce.
- Scatter one pack of tortellini evenly over the sauce.
- Sprinkle half the garlic powder, then top with half the cheese.
- Add remaining sauce, tortellini, garlic powder, and cheese. Finish with dried basil on top.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 120 minutes or LOW for 180-210 minutes, until pasta is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Spoon onto plates, garnish with extra basil, and serve with salad or garlic bread.
Notes
Coat the slow cooker base with nonstick spray to prevent sticking. You can add chili flakes for a subtle kick, replace half the tomato sauce with Alfredo sauce, or toss in baby spinach during the last 15 minutes.
