As I have mentioned a hundred times, I love pasta. One of our recipes for the Sweet as Pie Cooking Club this month was
Crock pot Cheese Tortellini. I have also mentioned my love of a crock pot recipe. I made two adjustments on this recipe. First of all, I only used half the amount of cream cheese. I make the same adjustment with my favorite mashed potatoes recipe, and the taste doesn't suffer at all (and my waistband suffers less :) ). In addition, my boys will eat any pasta, but they struggle with any green product. However, as a mom, I am a firm believer that green is good, so I often use the food processor to chop either spinach or kale into very small, less noticeable pieces and then I can get it mixed into almost every one of our pasta dishes. So, rather than leave the spinach in big leaves, I chopped it into tiny pieces and they boys never complained. That equals one happy mommy. This was very delicious and very easy- both of which are requirements for me to add meals to the meal rotation in my house. Also,
everyone liked it... one more requirement. This means I will make this again.
