    Our kids loved this recipe. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the taste was out of this world. A new favourite at our house! [Slow cooker used: Hamilton Beach Stay or Go 6qt]

    What size is a 'jar' of pureed tomatoes, a 'can' of stewed tomatoes and a 'package' of tortellini? This isn't helpful when I want to use my own produce or make the tortellini.

    would it be possible to give the amounts required for the puree and stewed tomatoes as well as the pasta.

    My comment is the same as above. This sounds so good but need to know what size of cans/jars for tomatoes?
