Recipes Easy Slow-Cooker Tortellini 4.0 (1) 1 Review 0 Photos This tortellini recipe is excellent for a slow cooker. Keep an eye on your tortellini, as it may be done sooner. If it looks soupy, leave the lid off for the last half hour or so of cooking. For a vegetarian version, omit sausage and use vegetable broth instead!
