KRAMER CROCK POT CHICKEN TORTELLINI

Steps:

• I like to practically"puree" the onions and celery in my chopper so my kids don't notice them, but you can always keep them bigger if you like.
• Place everything EXCEPT tortellini in your crock pot and cook on low all day (6-8 hours).
• Either cook tortellini according to package directions and mix in before serving, or place frozen tortellini in crock one hour before serving and turn it up to high setting, but stir gently often.
• Wonderful with green beans and cornbread.

CREAMY HERB TORTELLINI

Steps:

• Cook tortellini according to package directions.
• While the tortellini is boiling, heat the butter in a small skillet over medium low heat. When butter is almost fully melted, add the herbs, onion and garlic.
• Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. You don't want it to sizzle, you are just warming them in the butter, so the low heat is important.
• Put the creme fraiche in a serving bowl large enough to hold the tortellini. Add the warm butter herb mixture and stir to combine - it doesn't have to be stirred to a smooth consistency, the hot pasta will take care of that.
• Drain the pasta and add to the serving bowl, mixing well to coat pasta. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
