Easy crockpot pasta dinner

38 oz of frozen cheese tortillini now we have two cans of Rotel I didn't drain these now I have 6 oz of baby spinach don't worry the spinach will shrink up so just kind of push it in there we have a smoked sausage and I'm taking my scissors here and I'm just quickly going to cut this sausage right up you can use a knife if you want but I just thought it would be fun to use my scissors today this is a really big meal it's going to feed a big family and but don't worry you can always cut the recipe in half half if it looks like too much for you this is a 6 qu slow cooker or crock pot that I'm using here today so you do want a pretty big Crock poot if you're going to copy this recipe exactly how I am doing it all right see that was so easy cutting that up but then I have a whole another smoked sausage that I already cut up for you guys so so that's two in total and I know you did not want to have to see me cut both of those up and now I have 8 oz of cream cheese that I already cubed up and I'm just going to spread it around then I have another 8 oz of cream cheese so in total you need two blocks of cream cheese or 16 oz now we have 48 oz of chicken broth oo so yeah you need a lot of chicken broth for this recipe it's really going to help cook up that torini I went with the low sodium but if you like your stuff salty you can go with the full sodium yep six cups okay now we need to just season this baby up real quick we got some Italian seasoning you want to use a whole bunch of Italian seasoning you need like three tablespoons of this stuff so I think that looks about right to me and then you want to use some crushed red pepper you don't have to but me and my family we love some spice in our food oh yeah wow that looks so cool love this dish and then some salt whatever feels right to you go ahead and do it all right I'm just putting on the amount of salt that works for me oh and then pepper you know you can't have salt without pepper I mean you can but it's kind of weird so just add good out of this freshly ground black pepper oo so now we are going to try to put our lid on here oh look it just barely fits and we're going to cook this on low for 3 hours all right so it has been 2 hours and we're going to take this lid off we're just going to give see look at that melted cream cheese we're going to give everything a nice mix see look at that we just got to push that spinach down there and it will shrink down even more than it already has look at that the tortillini is already looking nice and soft the cream cheese is melted ooh it doesn't look pretty right now but trust me it will okay that chicken broth is going to soak up into everything okay and now we have some mozzarella cheese shredded mozzarella cheese that we are going to add all over the top and it's going to melt and cook in here during the last hour of our cook time so this is 16 oz which is actually four cups of shredded cheese not two shredded cheese Works different and we need three cups so we're going to use almost this whole bag but not quite just spread it all over the top so it's nice and even don't touch the crock poot though because it's hot okay and once you have that nice cheese layer on there put your lid back on and cook it for another hour on low all right it's been another hour let's take this lid off look at that melted cheese ooh it's okay guys there's liquid in there but it's still going to be really good okay cuz you just look at that torini perfectly cooked serve myself some of this oh it's so cheesy oh my goodness okay we're just going to have to okay and then to my serving right here I'm going to put it right there I'm going to take a little bit of Parmesan cheese here grated parmesan I'm just going to add it all over the top cuz I love parmesan okay let's dry it mix it around a little bit oh yeah see look how good that looks once you get it in your bowl m torini is perfectly cooked and soft m
