Saucy Sausage Tortellini-- Crockpot

Ingredients

Cook Time: four hours on low with frozen tortellini or 2 1/2-3 hours with unfrozen tortellini

Frozen/Fridge
1 Bag of frozen or refrigerated cheese tortellini
1 lb. roll of sausage (I used Jimmy Dean Brand)

Produce
1 small bag of fresh spinach

Canned
2 cans of Italian Seasoned Diced Tomatoes
4 cups of chicken broth

Dairy
1 block of cream cheese

Prep Work
Fry sausage until cooked through
Cut large spinach leaves into smaller pieces
Get cream cheese to room temperature!


1. Put all ingredients into the crockpot.  Put the cream cheese into the crockpot in small chunks.

2. Cook on low and stir often if possible-- this will help the cream cheese to stir in easier.

Options: To keep tortellini from getting too "mushy," put it in only for the last hour or so.

Ninja-Body Options: You might want to add a few extra pushups and sit-ups to your workout! Also, use a low-fat sausage, low sodium chicken broth, and fat free cream cheese.
