I don’t know about you, but for me it’s that time of the summer where I’m just craving the freshest food and all those summer veggies. But give up on slow cooking to get it? No thank you. I love the convenience of the slow cooker year ’round. So go ahead and pick up all those yummy things at the farmers market.

I simply added some boneless skinless chicken to my slow cooker with some broth and seasonings and let it cook all day to tender juicy perfection. I then added some herbed goat cheese and let it melt and thickened it with just a bit of cornstarch. This goat cheese sauce is the perfect light sauce for all your summer pastas!

    Your recipes looks delicious. In fact, ANYTHING with basil and goat cheese would be terrific. That said, the food critic sitting in the back corner of my brain is saying “no, you can’t put a starch atop a starch”. LOL With the current trend of ‘zoodles’, I’m thinking that I would try an adaptation of your recipe with zucchini noodles and carrot ribbons. Oh yeah!! And maybe either black beans or sausage, for protein. Sorry, I wasn’t trying to poo-poo your recipe… it’s just once my taste buds start thinking of possibilities they’re rather hard to quiet down. 🙂 Thank you for sharing your recipe!
