Tortellini with Broccoli

This recipe is from Fix it and Forget it - Slow Cooker recipes

Ingredients

1/2 cup water
26-oz jar of your favorite pasta sauce, divided
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
9 oz pkg fresh mixed cheese tortellini
16 oz pkg frozen broccoli florets
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Combine water, pasta sauce and Italian seasoning in a bowl.
Pour 1/3 of the sauce into the slow cooker. Top with tortellini
Pour 1/3 sauce over tortellini. top with broccoli.
Pour remaining sauce over broccoli.
Cook on high 1 1/2 - 2 hours or until broccoli and pasta are tender, but not mushy. Garnish with Parmesan cheese, if desired.

I made this recipe for the first time last week. It was super easy and had an excellent taste. I think I let it cook a little too long though, cause the pasta did get kind of mushy.

I give it a 3 out of 5. My husband gives it a 3 1/2.
