I tried to cut some fat and calories by using half and half, but had trouble with the consistency of the sauce. That was probably because I did not use fresh grated cheese, so I suppose it was my fault. I microwaved a ham steak and cubed it, that worked great. I also used a box of frozen asparagus as the fresh stuff is pretty expensive this time of year. Great recipe, I will try it again!

I didn't like this at all. I see no reason for the slow cooker. The sauce was very thick and dry, it was a waste of tortellini. Sorry.

This was great! I added potatoes, carrots, and onions. They were so tender. I also added a couple cubes of beef bouillon. For the last 30 minutes, I took off the cover and added a little flour/water mixture to thicken the gravy. It worked perfectly. Great recipe!
