I made this, for dinner, to rave reviews! My elder son said that he likes this better than the Crockpot Tortellini, which is a favorite, in the house!
I followed the recipe, exactly, but didn't use parsley, at the end. Her photos are much prettier, but ours was just as DELICIOUS! I used the entire 12 ounce box of Jumbo Shells. It fed 4, including hungry teens, with some left over, for my lunch or maybe 2 lunches.
