Sausage Tortellini

Doesn't this look so good and it was a crock pot meal too, I was so excited to try this.  I will suggest a few things, first I did not even want to eat it because of the way it turned out but I think the main thing to make it better would be to not cook the pasta for very long.  Put the pasta in last for about 20-30 minutes and I think this would have turned out great.  The pasta was in so long that it fluffed up and became soggy.  The good news is our dog enjoyed a few good meals out of it.
