recipe: crockpot skinny cheese tortellini with sausage

I love this recipe! Super easy and so worth it.  I found this recipe through Pinterest. You can click here to see the full recipe from the Pinterest Wife.

Ingredients

• 1 Crock pot liner (best thing ever invented)
• 1 (19 oz) bag frozen cheese tortellini
• 1 small bag of fresh spinach
• 1 (14.5 oz) cans Italian style diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 block (8 oz) fat free cream cheese
• 1 lb chicken sausage (you could also use ground turkey)
•  3 cups chicken broth (use 1-1 1/2 if you don’t want it as a soup)
• 1 can mushrooms (optional)
• 1 Tbsp. Oregano
• 1 Tbsp. Basil
• 1 Tbsp. Italian Seasoning

My tips:

• Definitely don't overcook it (I think high for 2-2 1/2 hours is plenty)
• I couldn't find frozen tortellini so I just used fresh from the refrigerated section.
• You can probably add more spinach if you want.
• I did use the mushrooms that were optional.
• I cooked my sausage first even though you don't have to, we just like ours a little crispier.
• I used the whole 3 cups of chicken broth and I didn't think it was that soupy- as you can see from the photos above.

Enjoy!
