This hearty Italian pasta stew is a tradition with my family. It's great served with crusty Italian bread to dip in the sauce and with a nice big green salad. I like to have a glass of red wine with this meal-in-one.—Joyce Frey, Jacksville, Kansas

This recipe is the BEST!!! I have made this several times and it is delicious. I made it exactly as the recipe and it is a favorite.

Although this recipe looks and sounds delicious, most of it is still sitting in the crock pot. My Italian food loving family did not care for this at all. I may try again without the spaghetti sauce envelopes... not a flavor we cared for. I would also make the tortillini separately and serve the crock pot fixings over the top as the the tortillini were very chewy.

This was hearty, the sauce was thick, and the beans were still al dente. There was a strange flavor that I couldn't put my finger on - would like to make again, but perhaps use less of that herb, if I could figure it out; also a little hot - might not use as much pepper another time.

This is excellent. It is rich, hearty and filling. It is also easy to make - put it in the slow cooker, leave for the day. Then come home, add the tortellini, make a salad, warm the bread and enjoy.
