2 cans (14 ounce size) Italian-style diced tomatoes, (undrained)
1 can (19 ounce size) cannellini beans (drained)
1 package (9 ounce size) refrigerated ravioli
In large crock pot, combine all ingredients except ravioli; mix well.
Cover;cook on low setting for 6 hours or until vegetables are tender.
At serving time, increase heat to high setting. Add ravioli; cook an additional 10-15 minutes or until ravioli is tender.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

This was very good.

This was really good. The pasta isn't added until the end so it doesn't get mushy or over cooked. If you use frozen pasta add it earlier in the cooking process (don't thaw it or it could get gummy). It's a very filling dish, but soooo good!
