I have several recipes here on my blog that use pasta, like this Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Pasta and this Slow Cooker Firecracker Chicken Pasta.  I know it can sound kind of crazy to make pasta in the slow cooker, but with a little practice and by following these instructions, you’ll find it such and easy way to make a meal like this any day of the week without all the work.

Tips for making pasta in the slow cooker:

• You will cook your meats, etc. first and add the pasta toward the end
• Make sure you plan about 30-45 minutes at the end for cooking your pasta
• You will need plan to stir it a couple of times during that time frame to ensure it cooks evenly without clumping
• Add extra water or broth if not cooked tender
• Serve right away rather than keeping on warm for best results

What is Chicken Alfredo:

• boneless skinless chicken breasts (we cook these in the slow cooker in broth for tender delicious results)
• garlic and parmesan cream sauce (we use cream cheese to make it rich)
• tender pasta (I like fettuccine noodles! You could use linguine or spaghetti or penne, whatever you like!)
• all of these combine to make a delicious meal!  Serve with garlic bread or a green tossed salad.

Use a delicious and simple seasoning like this herb & garlic seasoning to keep it simple and tasty!
