Slow cookers are also great if you have limited kitchen space or don’t want to take up your stovetop with pots and pans.

A slow cooker is also an easy way to make sure the tortellini doesn’t dry out while it’s cooking. The lid traps the moisture in, so the noodles stay nice and tender.

The optimal time for cooking tortellini in a slow cooker is 2-3 hours on high.
